I just started it. Fun language in it. In the foreward to the edition I bought Burgess rails against the movie and original American edition of the book, because his editor stripped the final chapter. Apparently, its the chapter of redemption and change. He claims that without it, the audience just sees a nihilistic worldview, and that wan't his intent. Then Kubrick based the movie on the American, not British version. Anyway, I really enjoyed the movie, so I interested to see how different the book feels.
