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.

A fun read and a bit of a meta-fiction tale.

February 20, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

A wild read. However, I was a bit disappointed by the author putting himself into the story line. It just seemed a cheap writing trick. The rest of the story is okay, a bit convoluted but easy to follow. I'm glad it was released as a comic book instead of a novel. I don't think the writing would have held up in novel format. I like that the author referenced the original book and poked a bit of fun at the film. (I actually enjoyed the book better than the film, and I loved the film.)

That all being said, I'm happy with my purchase, the book is of high quality and I look forward to revisiting it at a later date. So if you're curious as to the future of Tyler Durden... I recommend you pick this up and read it.

Well worth your time and money

I've seen the movie many times over the years, so I was a bit worried that I had ruined the book for myself. But that definitely wasn't the case. Thinking back on the movie, it's actually amazing just how well the director and the actors were able to capture the mood and spirit of the book on the big screen. However, if you're like me and you saw the movie before reading the book, do look out for a few key differences, such as how the narrator and Tyler initially meet, as well as the ending, among a few other things.

The book is very readable/reader-friendly. I read it over a weekend.

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.

Top Five Favorite Novels of All Time

Let's talk about Fight Club. I was borderline unhealthily obsessed with the movie version of Fight Club when I first saw it at 16. In many ways, the book is better. Fight Club deals with self-loathing, repressed impulses, and the hypocritical and meaning-starved existence many of us in the developed world feel we live in a manner which never fails to be fun, engaging, and artistic. In addition to the message, as I've gotten older and read more novels I've come to appreciate the style in which Fight Club is written more and more.

PS if this book ends up resonating with your latent aggressive impulses, try boxing, kickboxing or Jiu Jitsu. (But please don't blow stuff up)

The first Rule of Fight Club is...Read the Book!

September 30, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Somewhere in a dark dank basement in your town; men are beating each other to a bloody pulp in order to prove that they are not their job title, bank account, SUV, or IPhone.
Before the movie would make it a cultural sensation, spawning several real life fight clubs worldwide, there was the book. Author Chuck Palahniuk's first effort would turn out to be a knock-out punch. He admits in the afterward that he was paid a mere $6,000.00 for the manuscript. I hope he's getting paid hand over fist now.

Like most people I didn't know there was a novel until after I had already seen the movie. Fear not, you can still enjoy the book even if you saw the movie and know the twist. The printed story has a different ending.

So why is Fight Club so important? Face it, we're set up from childhood by being told that we're special, we're important, we're number one, we can be anything we want to be, etc. Eventually you realize that the contrary is actually true, we're all pretty insignificant. If said realization doesn't drive you insane or into a deep depression; you accept it and go on to make the most of your mundane life. America is such a commercial advertising driven, materialistic culture; always craving the latest gadget, luxury car, or designer clothing item.

Tyler Durden understands that the things we own, own us. He aggressively casts off the shackles of corporate, materialistic America and becomes free. He recruits an army of disaffected men thru fight club to tear society down brick by brick so that we will all be truly equal. He may be the most electrifying character in the last 25 years.

I didn't see the movie until eight years after it was released. Being a single thirty-something boy myself I immediately identified with it. It spoke to me like no other work ever had before. I was struggling to keep my home and put food in my belly performing a job I despised, because I was told that's what you're supposed to do. I often thought about liquidating my few assets, abandoning my home and liberating myself from the whole scene. In the end, my possessions ultimately won. Their hold on me is too great. I simply can't give up all the things I worked so hard for and nullify my life. It's still fun to entertain the thought though.

If you want to find out where it all began, pick up a copy of the novel.

Rules Dictate I Cannot Review This Book!

December 20, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I would say something but...the first rule of Fight Club...

In the immortal words of Chuck P. this book says it all “You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.”

Get ready for the ride!

Writing is choppy and juvenile. I had no interest in any of the characters or their story. I gave it a 2 because of the twist and the mere fact that I finished it.
