Chuck Palahniuk - Fight Club (two)

The second book I read for my self-imposed 52books in 52weeks program was Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.
I am a big fan of the movie that was made from this debut novel, and I must say that reading the book I was cursing the fact that I had already seen the film. Without a doubt it took some of the air out of the story.
However, the nuance that the book is to the film, or the film to the book, was enough for me to thoroughly enjoy the conspicuously unnamed narrator at a closer distance and a calmer pace through his experiences with the mysterious and charismatic Tyler Durden and the suicidal Marla Singer as they explore the creases in society’s shower curtain. There is enough difference in the story for the book to be both interesting and intriguing, even if you already know the score. If you don’t, well I can only imagine that it will be great.
What is great is of course the writing. Palahniuk writes the way I want to write. Uncomplicated, smart, beautiful and evenly, expertly spread through the length of the book. It weighs just right in your hand.
I warmly recommend this book
