A cool little story. The middle is a little thick and dry, but the rest is really well written.
One of the best programming books ever written. The examples are easy to follow, the writing is easy to understand - it makes C your new best friend.
This book is awesome. It reminded me of 1984 quite a bit since it deals with a futuristic culture, but instead of complete oppression like Orwell wrote about, Burgess depicts a society which still has lots of corruption. The complete disregard for human rights will shock you, but the punishment will shock you even more. The ending of the version I read left in an extra chapter that had been left out of previous American editions, and I must say that it leaves the reader with much more closure about the situation at the end of the book. I highly recommend this edition over others because of that. It's a real bezoomny book! Your glazzies will leak kroovy all over - it's horrorshow.
