Chapter 1

Oh wow.. After reading just the introduction of this book, I am very excited to read it. The original British novel included the controversial last chapter, showing how someone can change from being a bad person to a good one. This was left out in the American version because Anthony Burgess's New York publisher believed that it was a sellout. That it was too "British". In this version, the "new American version", The last chapter is included, which makes me want to get to it see how controversial it really is. Reading the first chapter was quite difficult. I didnt know that the words in this book were so "out there". I didn't think of this book as being one that the author would go to making his own language. I look forward to continuing this book and furthering my knowledge of this strange language.
