Final Blog

But where I itty now, O my brothers, is all on my oddy knocky, where you cannot go. Tomorrow is all like sweet flowers and the turning vonny earth and the stars and the old Luna up there and your old droog Alex all on his oddy knocky seeking like a mate. And all that cal. A terrible grahzny vonny world, really, O my brothers. And so farewell from yours little droog. And to all others in this story profound shooms of lipmusic brrrrrr. And they can kiss my sharries. But you, O my brothers, remember sometimes thy little Alex that was. Amen. And all that cal (Burgess).

Did
 the 
book 
come 
to 
a
 satisfactory
 closure
 for
 you? 
Why/not?


For me the book ended well. It was different then I thought, which I liked because it surprised me. As I've said, he becomes 'good' but not exactly. He stops doing all of the cude and horrible things because he just doens't want to do them anymore. Aside from it surprising me I also found it relateble, sometimes there are things that I love to do and then I just realize that I just don't like those things as much anymore and I just stop doing them. Alex is going up and has fazes just like everyone else and all of the bad things he did were just a part of his life that he eventually grew out of.
I also really liked the ending. No real reason I just liked how it was written. The attitude it had and how it was just peaceful in a way. Once I finished it, I sat back and it was just like I could relate, even though I couldn't really. Burgess made it seem like, if I wanted to, I probably could be friends with Alex. Which sounds odd, I mean why would I think about being friends with a fictional character, but thats why I liked this book. I wanted to relate just so I could have the peace of mind in knowing that maybe, if this person were real, I would be able friends with Alex. Burgess made him seem real. I've even found myself in certain situations wondering what Alex would do. (haha)
