Thank You God for giving me the endurance to NOT bail🙏🏻#UnpopularOpinion I HATED this book. Yes, I GET what Palahniuk is trying to say but the weirdness, violence and grossness of his storytelling left me feeling so squalid. Can ALL this madness be attributed to wretched fathers??? Can‘t wait to discuss next week #90sSpringFling 👊🏽 ok @Reviewsbylola I‘ve amended my rating to reflect my true feelings!!! I‘m no #StarSlut #HatedIt

saresmoore Funnily enough, when asked about his deeper meaning for the book, it turns out that Palahniuk was pretty much just going for a well-structured thriller. The “deeper meaning” becomes much more nuanced and prominent by way of David Fincher‘s film. My husband is bit of a Fight Club fanboy and he also found the book to be flat and gratuitous. 5y

saresmoore Congrats on finishing, though! 😬 5y

Cinfhen I bet you‘re right @saresmoore I think it‘s the film that elevated the Fight Club into its “cultish” standing. I‘m going to watch the film over the weekend 5y

Gina I noticed the writer of American Psycho has a little blurb on the cover. I think that says it all. Also the book was published in 1996 but that cover art is screaming retro 50s... 5y

Canndor I did like the book but still believe this is a rare case where the movie was better. 5y

Kalalalatja Okay, I‘m glad to see it doesn‘t improve for everyone 😄😄 5y

Cinfhen That‘s a good point about Bret Easton Ellis @Gina enough said 😛There are tons of different covers for this book, I chose the one that was the cheapest 😉but it does scream 50s horror!!!! 5y

M.V Sooooo glad it isn't just me. I think both book and movie are pretty lame, especially considering its' cult status. It's "ok" but it isn't -that- good?! 5y

Cinfhen THANK YOU @M.V 🙌🏻❣️I was wondering what I was missing!! 5y

erzascarletbookgasm Good effort for finishing it, though! It‘s alright to hate it! 😄 5y

BarbaraBB It did remind me of Bret Easton Ellis as well. But I‘m happy Brad Pitt prevented you from rating it a Pan 😂 5y

TrishB I‘m going to read starting Monday! I need some good books over the weekend. I hate Bret Easton Ellis books so I‘m not especially looking forward to it. Disliked film too..... 5y

BookwormAHN I'm planning to start it this weekend. I liked the movie, so I am wondering if I'll like the book. 5y

Megabooks Remind me again why we chose this book? I didn‘t like it either. 5y

Reviewsbylola One paragraph was all it took for me to bail. And yeah, remind me and @megabooks both. 😆 Lastly, you‘re a #starslut too. That‘s the only excuse I‘ll honor as to why you didn‘t pan tf out of this book. 🤣🤣🤣 5y

Reviewsbylola HATED=so so, in what world. 😂😂 5y

Cinfhen Ok @Reviewsbylola I‘m back to being a #StarScrooge 5y

Cinfhen It was a democracy @Megabooks @Reviewsbylola @KarenUK THE PEOPLE VOTED for this!!! I wanted

The People V. O.J. Simpson

britt_brooke I‘ve often heard that this is one of those rare occasions where the film is better than the book, but it‘s been ages since I‘ve seen it. Definitely rewatching it soon. 5y

Reviewsbylola 😆😆😆 thank you, I was very shocked at the rating. This feels right. 5y

Megabooks @Cinfhen @Reviewsbylola @KarenUK Well, at least it‘s a short book 🤷🏻‍♀️ Short and shitty is better than long and shitty! 🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ Nice bail, Steph!!! 👍🏻👍🏻 5y

Reviewsbylola You know me, it takes only a slight breeze for me to bail. 😆😆 I‘m not even sure I finished the first paragraph, I was just in no mood to mess around. @Megabooks 5y

Reviewsbylola It really wouldn‘t take much for the movie to be better than the book. 😆 @britt_brooke 5y

britt_brooke @Reviewsbylola I really liked the book, so I can‘t join you all in the bashing (although I still love you all). 😝 I know it‘s definitely not for everyone. He‘s really hit or miss with me. His books are very effing strange. 5y

Reviewsbylola Yeah his books are not for me! @britt_brooke 5y

Reviewsbylola The only book I‘ve read of his is Choke. I gave it 3 stars. Not great but not bad. @britt_brooke 5y

britt_brooke @Reviewsbylola I liked Choke, but didn‘t love it. Probably 3 ⭐️ as well. Same with Invisible Monsters. But I hated Diary and Adjustment Day. I‘d pretty much written him off until now. 5y

BarbaraBB Ah, @britt_brooke that makes two of us 😉, I liked it too. And I hated Diary too (the only book of his I read before). And I also think I voted for it when @cinfhen asked us. So much for democracy 😂 5y

britt_brooke @BarbaraBB 😆 We‘re not totally alone - @erzascarletbookgasm and @Cathythoughts liked it, too. Definitely in the minority, though! 5y

Cathythoughts Echoing @erzascarletbookgasm well done finishing this one Cindy ... even though I was a fan I found it difficult to read at times ... 👍🏻♥️ 5y

peaKnit Grossness...good word for a lot of the off sh*t in this book. Im hoping to wrap it up today and I think I‘ll check out the movie. 5y

TrishB Now I can‘t find mine anywhere! Checked Amazon, purchased and I remember it arriving! .... 5y

Cinfhen Oh no!!! @TrishB trust me, you don‘t want to own 2 copies!!!! 5y

TrishB I was guessing I wouldn‘t....will have another check tomorrow when I haven‘t got jet lag fog brain!! 5y

Suet624 So glad I steered away from this book. 5y

Cinfhen You can still join our party @Suet624 but the book was a bust (for me) 🙈 5y

Suet624 Aw, thanks!! 5y

TrishB Found it 😁😁 5y

Cinfhen Ha!!! Great...can‘t wait to hear YOUR thoughts @TrishB 5y

emilyhaldi LOL 5y

TrishB I‘m wishing I hadn‘t found it at the moment!!! 5y
