No, the sociopolitical critiques there in the book (which I did give up on), but it's a different one.  I think the emphasis of the book has more to do with commenting on the rotted state of the American aristocracy in the '80s.  I think the movie was more interested in talking about the state of the American male in the same time period. 

But Christian Bale, even psycho, yummy.  And I finished the movie.  So I'm going out on a  limb and say that the movie's better.

I just finished "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" though, and that's a *great* book (apparently, the movie's totally crap, and I hate Kevin Spacey, so I'm not going to spoil the experience).  For a non-fiction, the dialogue is a hoot.  And the atmosphere practically wafts off the page.

I heard the movie was infinitely better than the book, which sounded
more like a snuff-film-on-paper than anything. (It didn't seem to
include the sociopolitical critique that was the main point of the
movie.)
