I too have to agree with A Clockwork Orange, I haven't seen much of the flim yet (up until he gets caught by the police) but I've read the entire book and I enjoyed all of it, it's in the same mould as 1984 (rebelious person living under an oppressive government get caught and brainwashed). As my mum once said "Burgess is a master."
EDIT: Why did the US version leave out the last chapter? It's the one that puts the entire book in context, taking out that chapter changes the whole message of the book.
