Book Reviews of Fight Club: A Novel
Book Review: There's a movie?!
Summary: 5 Stars
Promsing myself to finish the book ere I even glance at the motion picture was an excellent choice. A friend of mine remarked that it was rumored that the movie was better, I told him he should read the book. The colinear love-triangle between the narrator, Tyler, and Marla is better developed here. In the book you begin to understand Tyler's origimal purpose in the life of the narrator, and how Tyler turned against that purpose for his own self-preservation. The imagery is also fully developed. I particularly enjoyed the idea of a refrigerator filled with exotic and gourmet condiments, but no real food.
Summary of Fight Club: A Novel
The first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club. Chuck Palahniuk's outrageous and startling debut novel that exploded American literature and spawned a movement. Every weekend, in the basements and parking lots of bars across the country, young men with white-collar jobs and failed lives take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded just as long as they have to. Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything. Fight club is the invention of Tyler Durden, projectionist, waiter, and dark, anarchic genius, and it's only the beginning of his plans for violent revenge on an empty consumer-culture world.
