COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Couldn’t Be Filmed? submitted by britain on August 7, 2019, 11:52pm This sequel does some interesting stuff with the graphic-novel medium, and the meta nature of the story would make it really hard to make a movie out of.

The familiar characters don’t look exactly like the actors (likeness rights are expensive) but they’re all close-enough for you to understand who’s who. Near the end it can get hard to tell The Narrator, who’s balding now (ten years after the original story), from some of the subordinates (the latter day analogue to the Space Monkeys/Project Mayhem guys from the original story).

It seems to me like Chuck Palahniuk, much like Tyler Durden, wants to blow it all up and this might not be the satisfying continuation the average reader is hoping for.. If you loved the book “Fight Club” and are new to Chuck, maybe go with “Invisible Monsters” or “Survivor” first, or to “Fugitives and Refugees,” where he profiles the Portland Cacophony Society (real life cultural pranksters, like a non-violent Project Mayhem).
