I thought I was the only one to read the book. It seems like everybody just watches the movie. Both are great, even if the endings are substantially different.

Ooh, I don't dig on the movie. The thing I love about the book is the use of language, and I just don't think it translated well.
But you're right; no one's read the stinking thing.
"What was actually done that afternoon there is no need to describe, brothers, as you may easily guess all. Those two were unplattied and smecking fit to crack in no time at all, and they thought it the bolshiest fun to viddy old Uncle Alex standing there all nagoy and pan-handled, squirting the hypodermic like some bare doctor, then giving myself the old jab of growling jungle-cat secretion in the rooker. Then I pulled the lovely Ninth out of its sleeve, so that Ludwig van was now nagoy too, and I set the needle hissing on to the last movement, which was all bliss."
Yow.
Alex wants to see you bleed.

Jessica,
I like both the book and the movie, but they are so different.
There is a lot more character development in the book, and Alex is much deeper. You're right, the language is great.
Lots of details and subtleties are lost in the transition to film, but it has more raw impact. It is so graphic and shocking, that it can leave a lasting impression that some people don't get from reading a book. It has been over a year since I last saw it, but I can still remember the very timing of the kicks during "Singing in the Rain". Ouch.
Burgess ended up very bitter after the making of the movie. It had far more widespread success that way than in print. He also hated the things that Kubrick did to the movie, especially the omission of the last chapter. Ah, well....
