Fight Club 2 TM 7 by Chuck Palahniuk

dolcezzina21's review against another edition

4.0

It has been great to revisit with fascinating characters like Marla and Sebastian\Tyler. The storyline has been fun as well, but it just seems like its moving at the pace of a soap opera.

The worst book in the series so far. This bring very little to the story, apart from a zombie? Makes no sense to me. Some nice illustrations so it gets 2 stars for that. I am still struggling with this series, things had been picking up but now it's gone backwards...unless this is the lull you sometimes get in a story....fingers crossed.

"Why do we love people the most after we hurt them?"

I love Fight Club with a flaming ferocity that could rival a thousand suns. I love the movie. Ever since I watched it for the first time, I obsessed over it for days. I used quotes from the film as my profile picture over various social media platforms. I downloaded the opening theme by The Dust Brothers and made it my phone's ringtone until I realised how tacky it sounded. I snarfed through the book and then obsessed over it some more. All in all, I was an unrepentant fangirl.

I am Jack's hysteria.

So imagine my excitement when I learnt that there was a sequel following the book and it was going to be a graphic novel. I was stoked. I feverishly followed (and participated) in discussions online, read teaser pages over and over again and exhausted Tumblr fan posts to quench my fangirl lust. Then I read the first issue the same day it was released smack dab in the middle of my finals.



I was less than impressed.

I maintain that this graphic novel should never have seen the light of the day; it's an abomination-very much like Breaking Dawn (but the preceding instalments were crappy to begin with, so screw you, SM)-I don't even know why it was published.

Now, I love Chuck P and I believe he's an amazing human being. He's kind and funny and a wonderful writer and awesome all over. If he weren't gay, I'd have totally jumped his bones. But this-



This was so fucking meta that it made me cry fat, salty tears. ;___;

I mean, why? Why would you thrust yourself in your story which has no story to begin with? The plot was all over the place. Everything felt watered down and Marla looked sane for once and Tyler looked like Thor (wtfffffff) and it was horrible. I wish this graphic novel had never happened. I wish us fans were left with the beautiful memories of how the book (and the movie) ended.

I am sorry, Chuck. I love you, but no just, no.
