Clockwork was a good book for me. The apparent "you cannot change the instinct of man" idea, and that regardless of ones experiences one may just be a sadistic maniac no matter what. The Ludovico technique worked like it was supposed to, and with correct control and proper use they could have rid the society of violence, slowly lessening its actual use of the technique over time. When violence subsided to reasonable or extinct levels then the technique would only be needed in small doses. Those doses being the violent by instinct people.

Kubrick did a great job, he ended it with evil always triumphs. Where the book ends with "wow, should I have a real life now?" And yes, the invented slang is obnoxious, but I kind of just read passed it, or I didn't get caught up on them.
