This book is MOVIE worthy

Great job in this intro to a new series. I have to admit it had started out slow for me but I enjoyed the book throughout till the last part.

If you enjoy vamp romance, interesting plot, likeable characters & loads of actions (although mostly towards the end of the book wch is fine because of the story build up)....grab this freebie today. It will leave you wanting more.

And please..fans..don't compare this to the Twilight series (gag!)..this is adult written with well thought out plot & very sexy.  I am off to find more action/romance in Book 2.

I read this book before going to the movie to see it. I don't know why I go to the movies, the book is ten times better!
I love the connection between the characters in the book, and the twist at the end is awesome.

Rarely does a Hollywood film do justice to a popular book. This movie does.

I actually saw the movie before reading this, but, from oodles of experience, most books are far better than the movie. This one does not disappoint. I read this book in an afternoon, only so I could re a d the sequel to find out "where she went".

Seriously, this book is so well written, it engages the reader from the very beginning and the twists and turns as well as the characters make this a great read for all ages!

The movie was poorly done and does not do this book justice! Read the book as it is the true testament to this author's skills set.

My son loves the movie so what better way thing to get than a book. I know right? What the heck are those things? Anyway, it's an awesome hardcover book (with removeable sleeve/cover) and very well made, thick pages. The pictures, while they appear directly from the movie --  they're beautiful. The movie is beautiful. The written story is streamlined and a good quick read for any fan. Easy enough for most kids in elementary (or beyond). Or you can just read it to your kid too. Share this movie, this book, this experience with everybody you can. The world would be a better place if more people watch and appreciate this story.

I loved this book and highly recommend it. The story was a page turner; I read about 200 pages in two nights which for me is a lot. The book hammered home the idea that if you act and dress the part, people will belive you. Of course scams never last forever, but this guy was able to convience a lot of people for a very long time.

I hear they are making a movie on the book.  I am sure the movie won't be nearly as good as the book, but I am still excited for it.

I read this book in three sittings which I haven't done in a long time. I can't imagine the movie can get all the details as the book but I'll rent it soon.

Yes, it's true - The book is better than the movie. I hope you enjoy them both as I did.

I love this book so much and the movie also. The book is better but then books are always more detailed but the movie is good too because Clint Eastwood plays the part so well! Buy it .. read it!!!

This is one of the few books I've read where I think the movie was actually better than the book.  Even then, I don't think it's so much that the movie was BETTER, but the book just works better as a movie.  It plays out nicer.  The book stayed right on par with the movie and only a few tiny events were changed.
If you don't know the premise, fight club is about a guy who shall forever remain nameless.  He can't sleep at night, so he goes to support groups for diseases and problems he doesn't have.  He meets a woman named Marla Singer and they form a hate-hate relationship.  Then the guy meets a man named Tyler and his entire life changes.  He goes from a condo filled with IKEA furniture to a crack-house reject of a house.
He forms a club called Fight Club with Tyler.  Men beat each other up and feel great about it afterwards.  Woo.
It was a quick read and a poor book.  I'd absolutely recommend renting the movie over wasting your time reading the book.

I began reading this book because I enjoyed the movie and, as is the case with most books-turned-movies, it was way better. If you watched the movie, I would definitely recommend reading the book. It has a lot of subtle messages and deeper connotations that were only glossed over in the movie but that are very essential. The ending seemed slightly rushed but overall it was a good read.

This by far one of the best books I ever read I've been trying to grab for a while since seeing the movie&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Payback/dp/B00000JDIQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Payback</a>&nbsp;with Mel Gibson on it including&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Payback-The-Director-s-Cut-Special-Collector-s-Edition/dp/B000M3439O/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Payback - The Director's Cut (Special Collector's Edition)</a>&nbsp;to me was the director's original cut which studios try to panned or wouldn't touch due to circumstances and changes based on some sources I picked up. Also seen some clips of the original 1967 film&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Point-Blank/dp/B00097DY2A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Point Blank</a>&nbsp;starring Lee Marvin by accident one day. To tell you the truth both movies all based off the book by Richard Stark (whose real name is Donald Westlake) all have a different meaning and yes both were adapted from the book with different characters and topics. If you into real fascinating movies and tv shows that are action-packed or action-like, gritty-wise, real edgy and all of that, you need to get your hands on this book b/c this will haunt you to the curve and give you a real scoop to never fall or sell yourself short when you around an environment of people you work for or associated with.

The Bible speaks about it too and how greed, disloyalty, taking advantage, etc. can turn you down a place you never wanted to end up. I consider them lessons learned. I always loved movies and tv shows that were adapted or based off the author's book (either biography, memoir or novel)that have a real meaning what we face in our daily world and living today.

This book has something for anyone that loves action movies.  It should be picked up by a movie studio because it has all the elements of the blockbuster movies but told from a unique perspective.  I won't go into any spoilers here, but whether you like dinosaurs, monsters like King Kong or Godzilla, characters with superhuman abilities, and/or big climax endings, this is the book for you.  It is summer blockbuster season, so if you want the same thrill as the movies but in book form, get a copy now.

I am still reading this book and trying to finish so I can go see the movie!!  Sometimes the book is better.....so just in case this one is then I will have the book under my belt before seeing the movie.
So far this has been a very personal and gripping book, plus it is funnier than hell at times too!!  A realistically written fantasy.....if there is such a thing. I love the author's style.....and I love it when the hero of the movie is telling the story first person.

This is a book that the reader can't put down.  It also has all the elements of a damn good movie.

As a huge fan of the book series, I am looking forward to the movie and hope they do the books justice. This book is broken up into sections: History, Cast, Places and Props, Costumes and Makeup, Filming, Fans.
It integrates quotes from cast and crew and the author. It's interesting and well put together. I can't wait to see the movie.
Note: It can be read on kindle in color (I use my iPad) or my original little b&w kindle! That's something other movie companion books have not been capable of.
