It’s a lot more dark and twisted than the film, and many issues in society and the world in general mentioned and discussed in the book are very present to this day, even though it was published almost 30 years ago.

I loved the movie (that i saw first) and didn't find the book as compelling (because of the writing style). I also had Edward Norton's voice in my head reading this, and I think he nailed the narrator. I think the movie greatly helped me understand the point of the book.
