(Language: English)
This is rightly mentioned in the top 10 books to read. It's hilarious and keeps you going from WW1 to WW2 until the 80's.A real page twister, viewed by an homosexual (what phrases they used in those day will choke you) it helps if you know something of the traveller writers (whom Burgess alledgely and comically all met)including Joyce, Sartre,Dorothy Parker, Joseph Conrad but also Goebbels, Einstein and many others. His brother in law also becomes the new elected pope. What a wonderful imaginative way to write. Congratulations Mr. Burgess (a bit late). I will cherish this book and reread it, I know.

(Language: English)
Very, very strange book. It skies on the English language, so it's a bit tough when that's not your mother's tongue. But it's a wonderful story written by a storyteller that you can say. It's not my thing altogether, although I've been thinking about the book a lot. And then, an author who can spook in a person "Darkmans" (title) in a book that contains 838 pages in the 837th page needs applause. Thanks for the strange reading, Ms. Barker I will reread when I'm older.
