1. I highly recommend the audiobook version, as the narrator is a standout and certainly made the wacky language of the mc more understandable.
2. The basic message, I thought, was a bit too out-front and obvious, although I suppose that's how dystopians generally are.
3. I think I personally prefer it sans the 21st section, but will think on it.
4. Super excited to watch Kubrick's film to see the whole thing come to life!

And I’m glad I listened to the edition with the final chapter. I did really like that ending.
However - the language killed me. I was almost a third of the way through the book before I had any idea what was going on. Thank goodness for the Sparknotes dictionary.
This was very dystopian and almost a sociological/psychological kind of book, but it was just too violent for me personally.
