This is one of those rare times I think the movie was actually better than the book. 😬 Had a hard time following as I read and I just wasn’t very invested. It was interesting to see how the book and movie differ…but I’m not sure I would’ve gone on to watch the movie if I had read the book first.

I think you begin to like Fight Club a lot better when you realize it's a love story, amongst everything else. And what an amazing one it is.

We are not special. 
We are not crap or trash, either.
We just are. 
We just are, and what happens just happens. 
And God says, “No, that’s not right.” 
Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can’t teach God anything. 
God asks me what I remember.
I remember everything.

It’s hard to leave a review for this book without mentioning the movie, and wish I’d read it before I saw it. In knowing the whole story from the beginning, the book’s twist had no impact and left the whole thing feeling anticlimactic. That being said, I really enjoyed the relationship between the narrator and Marla in the book as opposed to the way they portrayed it onscreen. Palahniuk’s writing style is always somewhat disjointed and his classic “voice” has become classic because of works like this one. Glad I read it.
