Okay so i just read A clockwork orange and thought it was great... and then i watched the film which was okay i suppose but i didn't think it was too good. So i guess this is an open discussion on which you liked more.

Book by far. The movie made everything way different than i had imagined.

youth, free will

i liked the book more too. the ending to the movie was an absurdist's wet dream. i thought it was cool but book was far more practical and believable. the movie did have lots of style too though

The book is way better , I just had the misfortune of reading it in a crappy translation , so I'm looking to read it in English.

The fact that you didn't mention the difference between the endings suggests to me that you read the American version with the last chapter removed. Personally, I prefer the book, and I think the message is more believable and interesting with the intended closure.

I read the british version and only didn't mention that because i wanted this thread to be more of a discussion rather than me shouting my views down a computer.
