Query: Much Better, and Different, Than the Movie

While the actual film might've been too much for the masses to take, this book is even more so. I wish I had read the book before the movie, because it was interesting to see how things had changed from paper to celluloid. The screenwriter of the film, Jim Uhls, did a fine job adapting the story, but because much of the material was terribly contorversial, it had to be toned down. This book is terrific is you love scathing satire and terrific and past-paced storytelling. Palahniuk's way of telling the story is mesmerizing. It intrigued me to see how he broke up how the narrator thought and how we reacted to situations. This only helps to set up the great story line and the terrific climax. In short, nothing in this book is a cop-out or meant to be offensive. It is simply a satire of how we live our daily lives. This novel is terrific from start to finish, and much better than the movie, if you can believe that.
