I loved the movie (that i saw first) and didn't find the book as compelling (because of the writing style). I also had Edward Norton's voice in my head reading this, and I think he nailed the narrator. I think the movie greatly helped me understand the point of the book.

This was SOO much better than I'd expected. Never seen the film so I came in completely blind.
The more I think about it since finishing, the better I think it was, the writing and the story. My rating goes up each day that passes. Is it even a 5 * maybe? I think its one of those books that is taken for granted due to its cultural impact. And it got me out of a big reading slump - tried about 4 books I DNF'ed then read this within 24 hours!
