Finally someone mentions Anthony Burgess  ! A Clockwork Orange was brilliant, as was the movie. Too bad Kubrick ditched the last chapter for his screenplay, but it works as it is in my opinion.

Well the reason for that is acutally quite funny!
Kubrick didn't know how the book ends! REALLY!!!
The US edition of the book lacked the last chapter - it was purpously omited. Kubrick didn't know that and it was only half a year after the movie premiere that he met with Anthony Burges and he was wondering why Stanly left the ending out.
k: The comparison of both (book vs. movie) was my diploma thesis!
