I bought the book off E-bay. Will read it as soon as it arrives.
Who's read it? If so, did you like it?

Loved the book. The edition I have has a glossary in the back which helps at first. Does your version come with the 21st chapter?

Not sure. It's the "penguin classics version". So, I'm guessing a new release.

The book is pretty well like the film, unless you have a copy with chapter 21 in it, the film ends at chapter 20, as do many of the versions of the book. You can always read up on it if you like, or wait and see if you're book has it in it (I don't want to spoil it for you by explaining it). Personally, I prefer it without chapter 21.

I read on the internet chapter 21 involves Alex joining another gang or some sort which obviously still, from this day gets mixed reactions.

Your copy should have it in it, mine is an old edition I bought from a used bookstore for a couple bucks.
