For example, in 1997 the book won is one of the incredibly few book-to-movie adaptations where //both// are awesome, yet still significantly different in plot. The same author shows his love for the book by saying, “I admit I (and other men around the world if you look up Fight Club) find the idea of fighting and destruction attractive.” This writer has a true love for the book. Fight Club is an exciting book to read and based on public acclaim is truly an excellent book to read. - Eric Kasper COUNTER ARGUMENT! - Grant Although the book contains violence, strong language, and difficult wording, the book creates a challenging and realistic plot that will keep us interested throughout the 3rd marking period. The language of the book may seem difficult and hard to understand, but according to many reviews it just shows the unique writing style of the author. The graphic violence of the book only helps to develop imaginary and tone throughout the story. As mature Juniors in High school we understand that there may be concerns about the content of the book, but we know that these things only help to create a more magnificent story!
