I try not to mark a 10 out of 10 too often on this site, but let me say, this is one of them. It's the language. The fact that it's written in an at-first indecipherable slang only draws you in, for as you learn the lingo, the world it creates seems all the more real, however fantastical. I am not a fan of the movie, for this book put in my mind a picture so clearly of this world, that when the movie didn't match it, I was disappointed. I would encourage all fans of SF, but especially those of Dystopias, to read this novel. I novel that makes you route for the bad guy.
