Good book, that.
- tormeh 12y agoWay better than the movie. The book is always better than the movie.

- vutekst 12y agoIs Fight Club an example or a counterexample?
- BrandonMarc 12y agoFight Club is one of those rare cases where the author himself preferred the movie's ending to his own written ending. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/FightClub http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/FightClub
- Crito 12y agoSee also: The Mist. Stephen King apparently hated the ending he wrote for the short story, but praised the ending of the 2007 film adaptation.
- grogenaut 12y agoNon-Sarcastic Thank You for taking the time to explain what I thought was self evident if you had seen the movie and read the book.
- grogenaut 12y agoThe first rule of fight club is "You Do Not Talk About Fight Club."

- Anthony-G 12y agoI'd rephrase that as "the books is almost always better than the movie". Most rules have exception and the use of "always" in a claim usually makes it too easy to falsify -- particularly in highly subjective fields such as appreciation of film / literature. Another counter-example would be Trainspotting: My 25-year old self found Danny Boyle's film to be much more coherent, interesting and enjoyable than Iriving Welsh's book. (FWIW, I've upvoted your comment as I don't think it deserves downvotes).
