It's a classic for a reason.

Fantastic for those who love the film. I imagine it lacks much of the experience of the novel or the movie for newcomers.

Enjoyed this immensely, along with the book.

It's amazing! I cannot believe it's the book which published in 1970s.
I love Stanley Kubrick!

روايه مجنونه و ممتعه..عن تاثير العنف و تأثيره..بدايه من عنف العصابات المكونه من مراهقين ضد المجتمع و ضد بعضهم ..و من ناحية الشرطة والنظام ضدهم..و عن خطورة مسح المخ و طمس القدرة على الاختيار.. تم عمل فيلم مبني على القصه و تم منعه في دول كثيرة لجرعه العنف و الجنون الزائده عن الحد !!!

I didn't enjoy the movie and didn't enjoy the book , don't waste your time

Me resultó curiosísimo leer la introducción a esta obra. Burgess estaba ya enfermo y con serios problemas de dinero. Quería dejarle un legado A su mujer antes de morir. Y le vendió por cuatro perras su idea a Kubrick. La cuestión es que en EEUU -puritanos para lo que quieren- censuraron el final (el capítulo 21); no así en el Reino Unido. Leyendo la novela puedes tener un regusto que la película no tendrá jamás.

De igual forma,y aunque lo hace difícil y complejo de leer, el argot creado para su narración es un trabajo impresionante.

Obra que será inmortal.

I'm sorry but I didn't get it...well I mean I got it: the language was easy to decider and get used to, the underlying connotations of you can't make a society to suit your means, free will...blah de blah..

...I just didn't GET it.

I grew up with people discussing this book and film as some miniature cult of artistic genius and always thought I should read. The guy on the cover was exotic, but slightly scarey so I stayed away until adulthood and then always put off, until I finally thought I should delve in. What I found was a character i detested and a plot I coulnt be arsed with. I then began to enjoy the book from prison onwards and was overjoyed at comupance received only to have the smarmy little bugger set free again with benefits.

Yes it must have been awfully progressive when written and ever so clever and thought provoking. I gave an extra star for the intelligence of the author. But at the end of that day, I just didn't enjoy it.

so disturbing but one of my favourite books

However, one minor criticism could be directed towards the layout and organization of the screenplay.

While the layout may be overwhelming at times, this minor critique pales in comparison to the invaluable insights and richness this collection brings to the world of film literature.

Stanley Kubrick es un genio.

A very welcome change to the ordinary lay out of sceeenplay books. Here Kubrick himself has chosen hundreds of stills from the film to illustrate and highlight key parts as we follow the dialogue. A bit more expensive as a result but definitely more special as a result. Great work with a great style of dialogue borrowed from the cult classic of a novella. A society becoming ever more familiar if you strip away the heavy layers of visual and auditory style more suited to the 60s.
