from what i remember, you really watch Alex develop from being a violent being to a troubled one. The end of the book left me w/ questions and wondering what ever happened w/ Alex and his inner conversation he had w/ himself after seeing his old friends.

I think that is not the best book I have red til the moment, but It's clearly the one I have enjoyed the most and I still remember reading as great times. I think that a clockwork orange is my favorite book, as well as the movie is my favorite cinematographic piece.
