The book is not as bad as the movie, IMO. The book has a lot of issues, but is certainly not the worst sci-fi written for young men. Though it is particularly masturbatory for the author.
Read the book first as part of a summer reading program for a school I taught at. It was a quick read, and I enjoyed parts of it (like the idea that it was a big puzzle hunt), but yeah, it's not a literary classic. It was a frustrating read because Cline came up with a decent idea for a novel, but can't write to save his life.
