I guess it wouldnt be as good after seeing the movie, considering you'd already know the ending...but still, great book.
No I haven't read the book. I'd be keen to check it out. I usually like to see the movie first then read the book because you've got an image of the characters in your mind but the writer gives you different insights in the characterization that the director didn't.
9/10 times if I've read the book first the movie is dissapointing American Pyscho was one example and the Basketball Diaries didn't impress me either.
