I came across this book because of the below interview.
I read it and was, for the most part, entertained. Just not sure if I would ever recommend it, largely because what the interview focuses on is really only a minor - even very minor - detail in the story. There are some strong parallels, but really, the story is about another man entirely.
I did appreciate the ending, though.
I think I’ll watch the movie next, out of curiosity.
