There is a movie adaptation but I havent seen it. I didnt know anything about this story except it won a lot of prizes and a lot of people liked it. It is an amazing story deep in the jungle of the Amazon where Jose Bolivar Proano is called upon to kill an ocelot that has killed 3 people. Jose is a man who knows and understands the jungle and also reads love stories. This is a story that will remain with me forever and that is latin american literature at its best.
