The book is better

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 1999)

I originally saw A Clockwork Orange, being a fan of Stanley Kubrick. After seeing it, I read the book, which makes the film disappointing. The film making of the movie was great, as all Kubrick films are and Malcolm McDowell was good as Alex, but the movie lacks a lot that the book had. I doubt even if it had all of the things the book did, it would still have been as great as the book was. I would say A Clockwork Orange is a book that was not meant for film and should be recognized as a great book, if anything.
