Yeah, same for me M-R. I had no glossary but I didn't think the language was too difficult. Words like viddying and glazzies are pretty easy to get, but most of the other word definitions become apparent through context really fast anyway. Take these quotes from the very beginning of the book: [...]"we sat in the Korova Milkbar making up our
rassoodocks what to do with the evening" [...] "things changing so
skorry these days and people being quick to forget". Seems pretty obvious to me, and on the next page you're even given some word explanations by the author.
As for the movie, I thought it was great to see the idea put into images... it was very chilling and horrifying. I do agree with Burgess that the ending of the book is important though, so if I view the movie separately from the book, it works better for me.
