GeddyRulz Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I read it about 25 years ago and loved it. The invented language starts to make a kind of sense to you after awhile, and then you don't have to keep checking the glossary all the time.

I read this book about 25 years and I loved it! The glossary helped a lot but once you get going and understand the language it's a masterpiece. I actually have a Burgess signed copy. One of the greatest movies in the world too. Only Kubrick could have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3strukt Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 So, is the final chapter, essential the hospital scene in the movie, where Alex is having a raep ti3m in the clouds with that girl, and then says "i'm cured all right"? (Hasn't seen the movie in about a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hasn't seen the movie in about a year. Nope. In the final "lost" chapter Alex basically decides to change his ways and thinks about settling down. The last chapter was left out by the American publisher, the version Kubrick based his screenplay on. Burgess wrote the book in three acts of 7 chapters each. The American edition only had 20 chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither can I. I guess I read it about 20 years ago for a Film and Lit class. I find both so mind bogglingly satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgeranacoke Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I read this at the age of 12 or 13, one of the first "books for adults" I ever read. It really turned me on to reading and science fiction in general. I really loved having to go back to the glossary on almost every page. Both the movie and the book are in my top 100 easily.

Signed, Van Hagar I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Burgess (author) refused to watch the film due to the 'clipped' ending. I also thought I read that the 'clipped' ending was geared intentionally to the American mindset [it was thought that yanks would prefer that as opposed the complete growing up of the character in Chapter 21]. I loved both the book and the film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
