I had semi high hopes for this one. I wanted to see the movie for a while, and when I found out that it was based on a book I knew I wanted to read it first. Now, I'm thinking that the movie will be better than the book.
The book was, at first, hard to get into, it took me a month to power through the first 6-7 chapters. Last night I finished the book, from that 2 year jump when we first see Alex in prison, in an hour and a half and I can't believe I stayed up until midnight for that. 
Look, in my opinion, this should've ended when Alex threw himself through the window. It was such a dynamic scene, with the music in the background and him being hurt by one positive thing that brought him happiness and peace, it would be poetic. Everything after that was a waste of time, paper and ink.
I've read some facts and articles about the author and the novel, that said I understand what Burgess wanted to say and the way he went about it, the point behind Alex "growing up" but the ending was completely anticlimactic and all of the tension/drama/suspence, whatever you wanna call it, was lost the moment that scene in the hospital started.
I will watch the movie, hoping, while knowing that it disregards author's wishes, it is better than the book.
