A clockwork orange

Second time reading the book. Have seen the movie many times. I still find the language and voice entertaining.

I believe this was the first time I've been exposed to the last chapter (older editions have the last chapter cut out, and the movie doesn't adapt the last chapter). I'm not sure how I feel about it. It does provide a nice symmetry to the first chapter, but I thought it was a bit too convenient. It features a character change in Alex that seems like it's just there to make a point and to end it on a positive note.
