I believe John Ridley wrote the novel after he sold the
screenplay to Stone in a (very smart) attempt to capitalize
on the movie deal. That's probably why they are so very, very
similar. It's sort of a novelization disguised as a novel. He
got a hardcover deal out of it, so I think his ploy worked
pretty well.
