I must admit I watched the movie before reading the book. Sadly, I liked the movie better. This is simply because the main character is, in the movie, not as pitiful as he is in the book -for which I'm glad.
I loved James Leer, the intelligent, strange student. But I didn't like Grady himself, who was too self-absorbed and so indecisive with his life.
And in the end, he doesn't seem to have learned much or to have decided anything, really.
