The book about the best movie I've ever seen

..and I've seen a lot, I'm over 50 ...! First, thank you to C. Schmidt, who has the character and content of the book describes aptly and truly of all the other enthusiastic reviewers who are also expressed about the film!
I can only agree with that. To book, I came across the film, in which I literally fell in love. I saw so many times that I can practically memorized the dialogue and thus the access to the German version was no longer remote. Soon I could him also in English by heart :-)
What I would like to add, is the truly amazing symbiosis of outstanding Southern Blues in the mood of each scene. It even goes as far as the lyrics. Since equal the first scene ends in English with the words 'some day', then follow the same an excellent Blues entitled 'Some Day'. Later, when Lawson closer (in the book 'Byron') Pursey (in the book Hanna) Next, a scene that both shows in a bar with the background track ('hey babe'), a very expressive scene! I brought it a lot, first to see this wonderful film to now to plow through to have the right motivation this English 400 page book. I am told on page 110 and honestly: I am pleased that I can not read in a week, because then this great dive would be in this other world 'down in New Orleans' already over ... :-)
By watching the previous film can also, of course, imagine the scenery better. My recommendation would be to proceed in this order.
The film is certainly a masterpiece! The book I find, as well as other writing, also totally different across the way, but both are in their own way really great! When I read that this is the very first film the director and also the first novel by Capps, it has almost blew me away! As others have written, the son of Capps wrote some of wichtigtsen title of the soundtrack and played and thus contributed significantly to the atmosphere.
The book is much more realistic than the film shows the dark side of an outsider existence, but one should not compare both eigenlich because both by themselves are simply fascinating works of art.
