I just finished reading this book and am going to watch the movie either today or tomorrow. Which do people prefer, I'd like to know?

Book. I think the movie missed out on some important themes in the book.
Still a nice good shocking movie, though.

the movie leaves out the last chapter of the book..... (if the version you read had the full 21 chapters?)
there were (at least) two versions published - the one with 20 chapters was the (first?) US version. i think.

Comparing books to movies is ridiculous.

Enjoy the movie.

read the book first too.
without having a small dictionary in the back - the best way to read it, imo.
book is better, as usual.

Read the book, saw the flick.
I like the movie better. I think it's just because Kubricks vision for the story is better than the vision I whipped up when reading it.

yeah, the book was great.. one of my favorites.. i think i liked it better than the movie, overall.. which is also one of my favorite movies..
the parts of the soundtrack i've heard are swell also.. the intro music in that movie is the best ever.. the big moog stabs as it flashes the title and then pans through the korova milk bar...gives me chills every time

Allthough its a good movie, its heavy to watch it. I really felt tired afterwards.
Maybe becauseit isn't one of these mass-product movies we see nowadays?

the book is definetely better than the movie. The certainly lacked a few needed things. Still one of my favorite movies though. And do indeed check out the soundtrack. Try and find the 10 track version. It has full versions of the songs rather than the other version that contains songs aside from those by Wendy Carlos, and some of the songs are also shorter...

ok, well i suppose what i'm going to say will make people want to tolchok me in the litso, but i don't really give a toss.
I think people who say they dont need to know the meaning of the nadsat language are full of shit.
The book is so terribly confusing by it, and even if you can guess some meanings of words there's still too much you will be wondering about throughout the rest of the book. However, I don't see this as a bad thing at all. The word list wasn't written for no reason.
"What's it going to be then, eh?"

its a pile of overrated shit. if the book is good, don't rruin yourr opinon of it by seeing the film.
i saw it on the rre-rrelease, so i guess it was all the hype that rruined it. i wasent imprressed.
