A nice and easy read, well written and with very good characters. It does stand on its own, you could read the book without having seen the movie, but I guess that is not a very common scenario. I had seen the movie and my brain casted DiCaprio and Pitt for the leading roles, which was rather strange.
But, to be honest: If this book would have been written by an unknown author, things would be different. In the end I could not relate to any human being described in this tale and I really do not care what is happening to them. Hm. That's not true. There's Marvin Schwartz. I can relate to him. He is a human being. My unsung hero: Marvin!
