I recently re-read this book (hadn't read it in years, but LOVE the movie), and somehow didn't find it as good the second time around. Perhaps it's that nihilism and anarchy become less impressive and attractive with age. :) Anyway, if you're a fan of the movie, the book really only works if you think of them as completely separate. The details of the book differ so far from the movie that it's not really the same story (although the premise is the same.) Minor details such as how The Narrator meets Tyler to major details, such as what happens at the end, are completely different. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad story, and Palahniuk fans would love it as they love most other things he has written. However, if you're coming to Palahniuk as a fan of the movie Fight Club, I am skeptical that the book would impress you.
