    Just finished reading lullaby, excellent novel just as good as fight club.
    Any other CP fans on boards?

    Read Haunted a few months ago, some people would probably think its a bit disturbing but I thought it was fab!

    Yup, but I've only read 'Fight Club' thus far.

    He can be very good but he's a bit hit and miss for me.
    I loved Survivor, Diary and Choke. I thought Haunted and Non-Fiction were a bit boring.

    He's pretty poor imo. Stories don't have anything going for them stylistically and he can't end a book. (I think there was a thread on this before). Fight club the film was 100 times better than the book-there I said it! And the reason being that the script writers were able to narrow it down to a few key themes, and really work up the intensity in a way that the book never did, because it flitted from topic to topic without really trying to make any of them matter.

    His writing style is what makes him unique, i love his constant use of metaphors.

    Have enjoyed every novel of his as each is something unique.Pretty hard to find all his books though, i bought them all when i was in JFK airport

    I enjoyed reading Survivor. Also read choke and non-fiction. He has a wonderful turn of phrase. What impressed me most is goes out of his way to research his characters.
