Didn't like the writing style (it was too dry for me) but the story in itself is incredibly compelling. It calls to the reader in a personal way, and the ideas it develops are attractive in this writing. As another review says, you have to read between the lines and take a step back from what you're reading to really get the book.
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.
