I'd say the book first then the movie. When I watch the movie then read the book I feel cheated on. It then becomes hard for me to visualize or enjoy the book or keep on reading. But I'd say the experience with the book and movie together is an experience I would never get over.

I think you should read the book first so that you can imagine things on your own and then see the movie.If you see the movie first you will not be able to see other surroundings or character traits than those presented in the movie,and that would be a shame. :)
