Movie was better.
The book was a lot more gorey and had some really good scenes there. So superficially that is something you really always enjoy. But as for telling a coherrent, always interesting, fast moving story, the movie has it all over the book.
The great thing about the movie is that the vast majority of the dialogue is taken verbatim from the book so it keeps the great dialogue which is the best part of both. But a lot of the constant describing of what everyone was wearing doesn't have to be said in the movie because you see him doing it.
While him explaining what people were wearing, and entire chapters on music shows the fact that he's a nut, there's just too much of it. I get the point. In the movie, they did it well. A couple scenes.
I think the movie worked better hinting at the violence than if they actually showed it all.
Christian Bale played the character perfect
