Well I never saw the movie because I have zero interest in watching people hit people. And I never thought I would read the book, but I needed to read this author for a challenge and decided to make it his most famous book. Justifiably famous because it was really good!
The writing is excellent and action packed. There are no spare words or wasted pages, just a very cleverly spun tale about some very mixed up people. Not having seen the movie I was also unprepared for the magnificent twist although I had started to get a bit suspicious that something odd was occurring.
The characters are all equally awful and there are some really gruesome scenes but it was all to the point and necessary for the book's objectives. I am amazed I am saying this about a book that is way out of my normal reading tastes but I really liked it!

Great review Phrynne! This has been on my tbr list for awhile.
Thanks both of you:) I was very surprised how good a book it was!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Wonderful review. :) I get what you mean by the movie, but gave it a chance after insistence of my ex. It's now a favorite. Though it might not have the same impact since you've read the book first. XD
Thanks Lila. I may still give the movie a try now I find that the whole thing isn't just about fighting!!!
I was blown away by this book when I read it, the movie does it great justice IMO. Great review!
Thanks Edyta - it is a great book!
You're making me curious, I might give it a go.
Try it! You may be as surprised as I was:)
Aw man never seen the movie? It’s such a classic! Absolutely love Ed Norton. I get it though. Glad you enjoyed the book!
I read this just a few months back. It totally sucked me in and messed with me head. I did see the movie and it is as engrossing too. Glad you enjoyed it though. I own a few others by Palahniuk but he does take a weird twist on things.
Thanks for your comments everyone. Obviously I must see the movie:)
I enjoyed his writing in this book Aldo. I will have to try more:)
Our Diversity in All Forms Book Club is reading this for November. We’d love to have you join the discussion on it. :) /topic/show/...
Thanks Mariah. I will keep a look out for that.
