It had entertaining moments, but I felt as if I had gained nothing by reading it. It was kind of a bore, and felt rather novel (no pun intended). In other words, I didn't like it.

People have suggested other books by him, and I sort of anticipate them being similar, but I'll try em'.

I don't know.
It was a first book by Palahniuk which I read.
To my mind it was wounderful. I love it.

I think it's a great book. It makes you appreciate the odd things in life. Well, that is how it rubbed me. Now I love womenly men. Ha.

LOL!

also, I just read it. It was enjoyable, but it felt like not much was happening for the first 100 pages. They went very fast. I read Survivor right before that, so that might have taken away from the experience, but who knows.

Bringing this thread back to life.

I think fa is short for fat ass. And maybe the kid didn't gain anything from it because (s)he was expecting a huge life lesson from the book. Many of the twists were unexpected... which makes them good. And the ending was so good I went through it a few times.
