Welly welly welly welly welly well.. What a fine piece of work.
As a twelve year old I found this book under my aunts bed and of course, went straight to the photos in the middle. Years later I vidded the flick and was fascinated.
I thoroughly enjoyed listneing to this, after watching the movie a million times over the last 25 years. The final chapter makes so much sense
Real horrorshow..Thanks
"A true classic...ten times better than the movie."
Loved this title...unfortunately I saw the Stanley Kubrick adaptation film before I read it...but to my surprise I enjoyed the book much more than the film...a real mind blowing experience.
"violence lovers; must read"
4th out of the 17 audio books i have listened to
hard to compare to other books because it is so characteristic and unique.
when he was fighting with the old woman in her house before he was arrested
the scene where the main character returns to the house that he victimized in the past
violent content
Speculative fiction is my genre. Narrative voice (the voice the author wrote the tale in) is very important to me. I love good dialogue.
"The Audiobook is Best"
Sure. It's a fun read that tackles an interesting theme, and the language is a joy to listen to (although it gets a bit repetitive). I actually had an easier time listening to it than I did trying to read it several years ago.
Alex. When a writer can get you to sympathize with a scumbag, you know you've just read something good.
"Excellent! Vibrant! Insightful!"
Amazing reader who brought this story to life. Had tired to read before but was so tripped up by the new language Burgess created for the character Alex that I could not get into it and gave up. But Hollander speaks it with such clarity creating depth and understanding to this masterpiece! It was utterly brilliant heard read out loud!
"The Performance Enhances the Story"
The "humble narrator" is incredible in this reading. He really brings the dialect to life.
"Not as good as I thought it would be"
I have not read the print version but I would have probably enjoyed it better. There were too many slang words being said that I don't know how to spell so I can't look them up. Hearing a really British accent saying British slang didn't make for easy listening.
I really liked the descriptions of the clothes and fashion of the era.
This was my first time listening to Tom Hollander. He did a great job of bringing an excitement to the narration that fit the storyline.
Clearly it would be Alex. Although lethal, he'd be fun to talk about music with.
The last hour of the narration is of the author reading 3 chapters from the book. So the actual story isn't as long as described. It also has a pretty long introduction that is important to hear because it tells the listener an important fact about the end of the UK novel, US novel, and film.
I travel the country setting up at comic, toy, sci-fi, and horror conventions. Audiobooks help with the travels.
"Stellar, to all fans of the movie this is a must."
That i knew the movie really well and how close some of the dialogue matched made it even better. The narrator was awesome.
The dialogue
No i haven't
Stanley did it.
"Tend to agree with Kubrick"
Marvelous vocal performance by Tom Hollander. Alex is the ultimate unreliable narrator though, so I think I would hear something new in the story each time I listened to it.
Burgess takes you completely inside little Alex's head, until his language, which is a strain to follow to begin with, becomes familiar and logical.
Alex is outstanding, but the accent and persona Tom gave the prison chaplain made me laugh, and brought a character I had not paid a lot of attention to when I read the book, to the forefront.
In the introduction of the edition that Tom reads, Anthony Burgess explains why there is a different ending to the novel than those who have only seen the film would expect, and expresses his disagreement with Kubrick's decision to end the story where he did. I must admit that I found the chapter that Kubrick decided to omit hard to believe, given what came before, and I felt it to be the weakest part of the book. I'm not saying that Alex would not grow up in some way, but his rumination on the topic ultimately came across as twee, not consistent with the narrator we had come to know.
I loved reading about King Arthur and Knights of the round table when I was a wee lad. Now I am older and love Game of Thrones!
"Interesting Read!"
Yes, the distinct language and meaning of the words throws you back, and by mid way of the story, you as a reader are interpreting what the words mean. Its like being stranded in a strange land and picking and learning a new second language.
Interesting plot, and a different technique used in telling of it. Gripping and interesting all the way thru.
Of course the lead charactor.
Its been done.
I wish Audible would have first played a glossary of terms at the beginning. I was disapointed after hearing for years about it, then the prefix was Mr. Burgess telling a bit about it, and how he wears this like an anchor around his neck, how he always has to talk about the book, which he considers was not one of his greatest work. I am sorry, but if you wrote a book, and it gets included in the top 100 reads of the century.. take it and be humbled that people chose you.
I enjoyed it, but the prefix took away from the beginning pleasure to it. I would have rather read the book, then heard his interview after the story. All in all a good book.

I am facing problem with my Windows network adapter. It detects all the available networks but it shows "Limited Access" for the network I wish to connect. On diagnostics it gives "The wireless network adapter is experiencing problems" and on further diagnostics it says "There might be a problem with the driver for the Wireless Connection Adapter". What to do?
The problem happens to me all the time. I think it is one of the reasons to prefer linux over windows since these problems only accure in windows.
This is what I do every time this happens to me:
Firstly, have you been able to connect to any network? If so, your drivers are probably fine.
If not, you can try the following -
I don't have Windows 7 in front of me, but the process should be similar:
I don't think this is a driver problem, looks more like IP misconfiguration to me (that's what "limited connectivity" isses in Windows are 90 percent of the time). Here's what I'd do:
Fire up a console (Run, enter 'cmd') and enter 'ipconfig'. It should report information on various network connections - find the one associated with your WiFi adapter. What does it say for "IPv4 address"? You might want to paste all it reports for your WiFi adapter in here.
(And now I see how old that post is. Sigh.)
it might be the issue caused due to DHCP is not enabled. once its enabled it will receive the IP from the router that is not assigned to other computer.
The case you are experience in which Wi-Fi connection is displayed as limited is due to the ip conflict.To troubleshoot the case
(i) Right click on the Wi-Fi icon displayed on the task bar and chose Troubleshoot Problems.
(ii) Now an Windows would Pop-up and it would check the internet connection.
(iii) If it show as it is able to connect then choose the txt "I am having different problems".
(iv)Then chose to connect another connection.

A lot of discussion has been kicking-up lately about BI and SOA as combined forces in the IT enterprise. Much of the discussion has been around similar, or dissimilar skill sets and strategies of these architectures. Not to mention, is BI or is SOA a solution, architecture or strategy? To be honest, unless there is a driving and obvious business need to utilize SOA mechanisms in a BI solution, we cannot put forth a compelling argument to do so. Without that business case, we are just implementing architectures for technology's sake, not for the business' sake. And in the end, it will be the business that drives the decision.
So let's take a look at how data integration for your BI system can benefit from web services. Keeping in mind that this particular blog space is focused on industry specific vertical solutions in business intelligence, I will pick a particular industry solution example. Let's choose, for the sake of this article, a manufacturer of consumer goods meant for mass consumption, who is looking to implement customer segmentation so as to improve their product marketing and streamline their go-to-market process.
In this case, data sources may be from such varied heterogeneous sources as transactional databases, Excel files, mainframes or LOB systems (ERP, CRM). If you were to perform straight ETL by pulling defined fields based on database data types, you will fight the common ETL problems of tight coupling, high sensitivity to source and target changes, deep understanding of source schemas, etc. But a promise of SOA is to provide "contract" based integration and programming where you should be able to access line of business and legacy systems from a "semantic integration" perspective. In the case of a customer segmentation solution for manufacturing, you would, for example, integrate customer data from CRM to survey results from an external database along with financial figures for the business from Excel, for example.
Now, reaching a "nirvana" level of integration is a lofty goal, one that will greatly benefit those of us who hold responsibilities with business users to provide meaningful, actionable, aggregated knowledge. With an understanding that this should be a goal of the enterprise will help us to continue to work toward adding web services layers to legacy data access and a unified approach to SOA & BI in corporate IT.
Here are a few of my personal favorite links to continue reading about this topic:Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack is a set of adapters that we use with our customers for BI data integration through SOAFor a good look at ETL and SOA in the world of BI try this article by Arnon Rotem-Gal-Oz

"Discover Tashkent" Top 5 Page for this destination Uzbekistan Things to Do Tip by TheWanderingCamel
Uzbekistan Things to Do: 141 reviews and 358 photos
Read the guidebooks and you would think Tashkent was a place to miss. Not so!
If you arrive in Uzbekistan by air, you will land here, the only city with an international airport. Do allow yourself a couple of days at the very least to get to know the city. It may not have the allure of Samarkand or the romance of Bukhara, but it is both interesting and attractive with good museums, a huge and bustling market, lovely parks, two functioning madrassas, a cluster of interesting old mausoleums near the University, a library holding what is acknowledged to be the oldest Koran in the world and a charming, unhurried air about the wide tree-lined avenues of the new city. Behind the Chorsu market you'll find the quiet lanes and alleyways of the remnants of the old city and in the streets around the opera house booksellers and newstands have stalls set up under the trees.
The metro system (the only one in Central Asia) makes it easy to get around, and taxis are cheap. Many of the main sights are within an easy stroll of one another, others, such are just a short taxi ride from the centre.

New Study: Nectar-drinking Traits in Bats Evolved More Than Once
by AMNH on
Contradictory explanations for the evolution of nectar-drinking in a diverse group of bats have long puzzled scientists, but new research led by the American Museum of Natural History and Stony Brook University provides a clear answer.
The conflicting explanations come from two different types of data. Genetic data suggest that nectar feeding evolved twice in New World leaf-nosed bats whereas earlier analyses of the bats' anatomy point to a single origin of nectar feeding. These bats are found in Central and South America and, uniquely among bats, eat nectar, fruit, frogs, lizards, and blood.
