I enjoyed it immensely, read the novel three times, once flicked through the pages whilst away with the fairies and found it valid, the film is a faithful enough adaptation, Depp in real life I think I remember fired Hunter's ashes from a cannon or something? My fave part of the novel is the bit about the tide in time or something, that the movement achieved something that can't be erased. I also liked the american dream he described being encapsulated in that screwed up wonderland called Vegas.

It's good, but if you've seen the movie, you've pretty much read the book.
