I found this text on the internet. It's awsome. I read the first chapter and it sounds awsome. I'll eventually get around to reading the whole thing. Good stuff though:

Good lord! almost 50,000 words!

I don't think I have time to read this.. Though the beginning is pretty neat, what with the howto's for making silencers and explosives and what not. I wonder how true it is. is it? Thinking

Ah, I should clear something up. The movie was based off of this text. So if you really want to understand the movie, you have to read this.

The latter. If it was copyrighted, I would have said: "You have to buy this book, it's awsome! <Amazon Link Here>".

Apperantly I posted it too soon. It is a copyrighted work and, well, here is the amazon link:

If you're clever enough, I bet a really quick google would find it. But, I don't expect you to do so. Isn't it legal in Canada to publish =< 10% of a copyrighted work without having to ask for the author's permission, so long as it's for non-commercial purposes? If so, I might be able to pull off posting the first chapter.

Yes, it's a real book. He also has some amazing other books. And the movie was based on the book, not the other way around.

I personally liked the book much more than the movie, and I liked the movie a lot.

He (Chuck Polsomethingorother) wrote a really good book called survivor. Check it out. Weirder than fight club.
