Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

I watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the first time last night, it was a movie I wanted to see for quite a while and I really loved it. It seems to me that it was based on a very good book. The parts where Johnny Depp's Character breaks off into internal monologues sometimes made into soliloquies by being heavily drugged, are some of the best parts of the movie. They remind me of other films based on great books, such as adaptations I've seen of the Great Gatsby. I really am quite interested in reading this one now. I'm making a mental note to do so this summer.
