I read the book a few years before the movie came out. The book blew me away. First experience with Hunters writing, and I loved it. I've since read quite a lot of his other books including The Gonzo Letters, vol. 1 and 2. Some of the letters aren't all that exciting but overall it gives you some great insight into where Hunter was at while writing some of those books. Hells Angels is another great book of his.

I thought the movie was a pretty good adaptation of the book. I love both the book and the movie.

I didn't like Where the Buffalo Roam as much, but to be fair the copy of the movie I watched was a really old worn out VHS.

On another note, I heard that Hunters first book, "The Rum Diary" is going to be made into a movie as well. I can't recall where I read that though. I think in an article about him breaking his leg in Hawaii recently.
