s-a ajuns la ce imi era teama fiind 17 personaje ,repetitiv.Inteleg satira si vad ce directie voia sa aiba,insa sunt convinsa ca putea sa taie din personaje acum daca ma intreb ce poveste a zis petitorul sau domnul veriga lipsa am sa ma holbez la tine for the life of me
Modul lui Chuck de a scrie nu pot sa zic ca e preferatul meu ,dar pentru fight club a mers de minune.Aici insa parca devine si mai obositor

Foul, disgusting book with foul, disgusting characters. Made me physically uncomfortable on more than one occasion. Had to take some deep breaths on other occasions. Had to fight through. 10 out of 10 enjoyed the struggle immensely.

I had a hard time getting into this one, but the end was worth it. Once again Palahniuk has some really great concepts. The short stories alone are enough to make anyone cringe.

Worth reading just for Guts, probably one of the grossest stories I have ever read. I still think about it years later.
