Actually one of the most interesting things is Burgess preface, how he tells he absolutely hates the movie, how his book was destroyed by it. See, the book is divided into 21 chapters, it is supposed to represent growth, the path of one entering the adult life. But for some reason the american version, of which the movie is based on, has the last chapter taken away. Therefore the movie tells an incomplete story, in which the main character does not change, he remais the same. What Burgess says is that he wrotte a story, so the character has to change, evolve, if he doesn't it is just a fable, something with very feeble literary value.

I love both the movie and book, but Kubrick decided to take out the end because he felt it was too cliche

Really? From what I read he wasn't even aware of the book's ending.
But, yeah, I like both the movie and the book as well.
I'm far too lazy to hunt photos of the covers for these books:
To a God Unknown - John Steinbeck Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad Slaughterhouse-Five - Kurt Vonnegut A Farewell to Arms - Ernest Hemingway A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court - Mark Twain
