I enjoyed it. see if you can get a copy with the actual last chapter. Chapter 21 I think. From what I remember its a bit of mindfuck. Could be wrong.

>> No.5915969

just read it man it's a short book

it's culturally significant so even if you don't like it it's worthwhile (I liked it)

>> No.5915982

The last chapter is important and left out of the movie

It's fucking Kubrick. The man is more genius than Burgess by a mile, are you kidding me?

I have to agree with this statement, after watching 2001 I now believe in our overlord Stanley Kubrick

Oh yes. It's one of the rare cases when a Kubrick movie was not better than the book.

I really enjoyed it. It takes a small while to start to enjoy but it is soon very good. Make sure you get an English version as opposed to American. Maybe there are more with the last chapter in America now but it was never added at first.
