Not sure whether it's better to read a book before seeing the film or other way round, but I think it helped to see the film first in this case. The book reads like a film script...very fast moving and lots of quick dialogue. Nevertheless it's a very well written story which keeps you feeling tense and I'm not sure any writer could match the tension in the store scene between Chigurh and the shopkeeper. The sheriff's thoughts (written in italics through the book) are very despairing.
