By Brian Salvatore | Jun 24, 2019 | Previews

Sometimes the best thing a creator can do is totally surprise you. If anyone had Chuck Palahniuk and his style pegged, when they read “Fight Club 2,” they were thrown for a loop. If anyone after “Fight Club 2” thought they now figured him out, “Fight Club 3” came and changed it up yet again. […]
