Nothing wrong with the Reacher books, they have long been my 'sun lounger reads' on holiday. The recent TV adaption was bloody good, and we can ignore the travesty of the Tom Cruise Reacher...
Totally agree. The recentish Reacher series very good. You couldn't get further away from Jack Reacher than Tom Cruise. Perfect holiday reading. Book a week.
Anthony Burgess’s autobiographies are very good and describe the whole nadsat language thing and kubrick’s weird approach to not allowing it to be shown, as well as the bizarre 2 versions based on the last chapter being there or not.still have the bowler hat - it was a (white) boilersuit
If memory serves Burgess named his slang ( based mainly but not entirely on slavic/ eastern European words) Nadsat ?
I think you're right re the glossary not being in most , it not all of the earlier/ full versions of the ( pre film )book
definitely a great book ( especially the full version- which put a different perspective on the story of young teenager Alex DeLarge), and a good, albeit, IMO , now rather dated, film
Just started this and enjoying it. It reminds me of the recent Minnette Walters books (the last hours etc) which I really liked.
