For different reasons. I really liked the 21st chapter (Alex's Denouement). While it almost seemed like a "too-quick-wrap-up" of the events of the preceding chapters, it rings a bit true how young men one day just "grow up" and leave childish things behind. I also respect Kubrick's take in the movie that there can be no denouement. Some men are born evil and remain that way their entire lives. - - - -[[Reading List Index]] diff --git a/Reading List - A Very Stable Genius - Donald J.

UPDATE: by the end of the book there were two storylines that I just knew were going to converge. Until they didn't. Unsatisfactory ending that I suspect is just "middle-movie-in-a-trilogy" style to prepare for the third book.
