...that the narrator was also Tyler Durden?

I read the book a long time after seeing the movie so I knew all along, obviously.

As I was reading, I was curious as to when it would've dawned on me that he had a split personality.

In the movie it was during the climax and it was a big "Holy Shit!" moment. But in the book it seems like you could've figured it out earlier.

Oh, ish, I read this wrong. I thought the guy was saying it took multiple viewings/readings to figure it out.

You know they're actually not the same person though, right? That was the real twist all along.

I thought this thread was going to be about when did we realize there was no Santa or Toothfairy.

Only saw the movie, never read the book.

Discovered that Santa was not real when I didn't thank my parents coz I thought everything was from Santa, and mom said, "What do you say?" I said,"I can't say thank you, because you didn't get anything for me." She said, "who do you think got you this?" I don't remember how it went afterward, but I remember it dawning on me.

Jeez, only one serious response? Is it because the topic is beaten to death? Is it like posting a thread on a Herman Melville website asking, "When did you realize the whale in Moby Dick represented Ishmael's inner demons?"

Anyway, thanks, Nathaniel Parker.

Like so many people I had it figured out for me by watching the movie. I wish I could have read the book first. A different experience.

I think it could have been figured out a lot earlier in the book just by what was in there, but for me it was superb twist. I really didn't expect it. I mean when I watched the movie, I was like wow, never saw that coming.

If I had read the book first, I do not think I would have figured it out. It's not something that I would have considered a possibility. It's completely feasible, but it would never have occurred to me. That was the beauty of the book to me.

This. When I first saw the movie, (before the book) I laughed until tears were running down my face, at him beating the hell out of himself.

It was only after I wiped my eyes and hit rewind, I realized that I could be mildly damaged to think of such a thing as humorous. But to know there is another person who reacted in the same way,... whew.
