A man who struggles with insomnia meets a colorful extremist, and they create a secret organization together.
Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation’s most visionary satirist in this, his first book. 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 after-hours boxing matches in the basement of bars. There, two men fight "as long as they have to." This is a gloriously original work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world.
Dark, thought-provoking, uplifting and depressing at the same time. The book is the perfect foundation in which the exceptional film adaptation is built on. A must-read for all ''consumers'', for all society.
I liked this book a lot. Quite a lot. I think I'd like to read it again after I think about it some more.
I've seen the movie so I always been interested in the book. It's an interesting way to tell a story and to make a point. I don't disagree with how the author gives you the base information of what is happening without all the scene descriptions. Really loved reading this.
