Read this book in Highschool and had to try it again. There is no way I could have grasped anything in this book at that time but as an adult… it 100% blew me away. I love this book. The story is amazing and filled with twist after twist. My jaw was dropped midway and to the end. I’ve always liked Chuck Palanhniuk’s writing. This is the second time reading this and I’ve read his other books, specifically fight club and haunt, multiple times. Just get it. Read it.
