What Members Thought
It's important to check which edition of this book you read. There should be 3 sections with 7 chapters each. Prior to 1985, the US editions drop the very last chapter which completely changes the meaning of the book. This edition is one such & it's what Kubrick based his movie on. He did a great job with it, but the final chapter's twist is awesome. Make sure you find it. The Wikipedia article does a great job explaining it here:

Alex, Your Humble Narrator, is a malenky malchick who govoreets in nadsat, a like slang. To get used to the nadsat without going bezoomny, it helps if you can slooshy Malcolm McDowell govoreeting the story in your gulliver. MM played Alex up on the silver screen, if you've ever viddied that.
