The first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club.

In his debut novel, Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation's most visionary satirist. Fight Club's estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret boxing matches in the basement of bars. There two men fight "as long as they have to." A gloriously original work that exposes what is at the core of our modern world.

This wasn't what I was expecting, but I wasn't really expecting anything specific, either. The first book was amazing, as we all (should) know. This is pretty great, but so... different. Which isn't a bad thing. Clever (see what I did there? No? Oh, just read it, already...) and brilliant. The book made my heart happier than the graphic novel does, but that's whatever. This is something special and I dig it.

Dark dreams of every office pawn

Fight club: A Novel is an excellent depict of how tiring and stressful monotony and role model's life can be, waking up every morning, go to the office,stare at a PC for more than 8 hours a day and deal with your boss knowing that well, he is the boss.

The narrator creates an alter ego that even he doesnt know it exists in which he counts to be able to send into oblivion everything he hates about the standars and way of approved living on our cirrent society.

great book. Chuck Palahniuk has such a great writing ...

great book. Chuck Palahniuk has such a great writing style here and there are so many great little details that make this book perfect. Like in the book the narrator briefly discusses a mortician who on his wedding night made his wife soak in a tube of ice and stay there for hours and then told her to lie down and not move at all while he had sex with her. This book is a little disturbing, but it's hilarious and the main character is relatable. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to read about characters who have a different perspective on society.

Rule #1: Stop Making Rule #1 Jokes

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is amazing. It's funny, it's harsh, it's uncomfortable, and it makes you question things you'd probably never even thought to question. It moves pretty quick, so you won't spend a lot of time actually reading it, giving you more time to wonder what the hell you just read, but in a good way. It's a satire on all that we hold dear in modern day America, and it makes you want to go out and shake things up, to mess with the status quo, to throw some bricks in some windows and pick a few fights.
Now for the question everyone asks: is the book better, or the movie?
Answer: Both are amazing. The movie changed some scenes in the book or omitted them completely, but it worked out fine without ruining the story. Interestingly enough, the book glosses over some things that the movie actually puts more of a spotlight on, and vice versa. Both watching the movie and reading the book will really give you a perspective on what Palahniuk and the director of the movie (sorry I don't know your name, Mr. Director--you still did a good job) think is important and interesting in each. The subtle differences are what make you think, and what make you really appreciate both.
Check the book out, and the movie if you haven't seen it. Both are awesome, and will take you on a ridiculous ride.

Dark, cynical, good

I'd seen the movie. Loved the movie. Probably quoted the movie to an annoying degree back in the day. And I'd always meant to read the book, but I was a little nervous about it because when I love a movie first, I tend not to enjoy the book as much. Not this time, I'm pleased to say. In fact, I think this is case where both movie and book stand on their own -- each doing cool things within their own storytelling format. And that's enough about the movie!

The actual writing, on a technical level, was pretty awesome. The repetition of phrases and sentences, the bare-minimum sketching in of setting, the detailed lists of things (furniture, plants, how-to's) pulled me deeply into the isolated world of the narrator and kept me there. And I liked the way we bounced from scene to scene, not necessarily in linear order. Again, it felt like I was experiencing some of the exhausted confusion the narrator was going through.

What was interesting (for me, anyway) was when I first started reading, I felt like this story caught all the cynicism of my generation. This was me in college. But as I kept reading I decided "Fight Club" isn't really limited to one generation or time period. It's, weirdly enough, a coming-of-age story. It's finishing the assigned check-list of adolescence and early adulthood and asking "so what's next?" and either not getting an answer or realizing that the answer given is so much bullshit. Which is probably what makes the book so dark (much darker than the movie). If there's no answer then, Tyler Durden.

I am Joe's eyes, I allow him to read

I'm going to make a quick assumption that if you sought this book out for reading, you may have also read (or will eventually read) Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". If you've already read that one, than you will likely have appreciated how the movie followed the book almost to the letter, especially the pace!

Fight Club is no different. Although the placement of some scenes is different from the book, this is almost a play-by-play. I appreciate when film makers do that, especially when you were one of the individuals that saw the movie first, than found the book out of love for the film.

The nameless hero suffers from insomnia every night, paging through catalogs of furniture, lamps and wall accents for his small apartment when he can't sleep. In the pursuit of a solution, fate sends him to various support group meetings for terminally ill and those in sickness recovery. It is here he meets Marla Singer, another 'tourist and faker' who like him, pretends to be sick or dying at the support meetings.

On a beach, he runs into curious man who has a very free and liberating disposition. His name is Tyler Durden.

With Tyler Durden and Marla Singer in his life, our character's life begins to twist and turn into an unrecognizable mess of beauty and brutality, truth and deception, death and rebirth.

Fast paced, and refreshingly original, this is a great piece that won't make you feel cheated when you burn through it so quickly. Like the movie, read the book, then you will love both.

Simply amazing. Takes a different view on today’s marketing society and it’s failure to solidify masculinity in the millennial generation. Short read.Read more

The movie was ok. I watched the movie because the book is one my son is reading in high school. I am also reading the book, maybe the book will be better than the movie.

Good book but not signed as shown. Don't buy siged items from half price books they are not truthful in their description. I should have known because the price was good.
