Fight Club

I'am Jack's Smirking Revenge...

Outstanding book!

Power animals, split personality disorders, soap, fighting, mayhem, support groups, tainted food, castration, the book has a little bit of everything.........

I unfortunately saw the movie, at least 5 times before getting around to reading this book. If you haven't seen the movie yet, STOP, read the book first!

I've read two other books by Chuck Palahniuk, this one is the best so far!

"Fight Club" is excellent, the characters, the dialogue. It's all amazing!

There are so many good lines in this book, its hard to describe, but here are my favorites-

"If your a male, and you're Christian and living in America, your father is your model for God. And sometimes you find your father in your career."

"Tyler Durden the great, who was perfect for one moment, and who said that a moment is the most you could ever expect from perfection."

"How everything you ever love will reject you or die. Everything you ever create will be thrown away. Everything you're proud of will end up as trash. I am Ozymandias, king of kings."

There are 8 simple rules for "Fight Club"=

1.You don't talk about fight club.
2.You don't talk about fight club.
3.When someone says stop, or goes limp, even if he's just faking it, the fight is over.
4.Only two guys to a fight.
5.One fight at a time.
6.They fight without shirts or shoes.
7.The fights go on as long as they have to.
8.If this is your first night at fight club, you have to fight.

The movie adaption of this book, follows the novel pretty close! Ed Norton and Brad Pitt could'nt have done a better job!

Highly recommended to everyone and especially Palahniuk fans that may never have read (Chuck's 1st book)!

I'm Talking About Fight Club

Fight club is a great book. It is a unique adventure that really makes you think. It blends humor, action, and psychological-thriller style genres. All of the characters are presented as very real people. You get to know them and you have a real interest in them. The twists and turns are incredibly clever. It's a very short book, 218 pages, and is worth the time.
Even if you have seen the movie I think you would get a lot out of this book. While the movie and book are very much alike, they have differences that make them unique from one another. You connect better with the book, and it is still wildly entertaining.

Better than the movie!!

The movie Fight Club has been my favorite for many years and I just barely got the chance to read the actual book. In my opinion the book is on another whole level compared to the movie. I love the way the characters are presented more and I feel like some of the back story Palahniuk gives you that is not in the movie makes the story move along much better. Based on the style of writing Palahniuk uses in this book, I think I'll be buying more books he has written. If as an individual you are easily offended you should probably not read this book because it can be quite vulgar at times. I laughed off a majority of the vulgarity but that may not be a possibility for everyone. This book has now become one of my favorites just like the movie and I think anyone like me that really enjoys the movie would feel the same if they read this book. I definitely recommend it but again warn that it may not be for everyone.

Surprising and interesting!

This book is one of the most entertaining, books I have read recently that was well-written. Many authors have a good, or just interesting idea, but do not have the skills to convey them on paper, Chuck Palahnuik is not one of those people, his creative story design and compelling narrative make the story interesting and beautiful. The book takes you deep inside the head of our tormented, but nameless character. It throws you around through through the thoughts of this person as he participates in launching a club that evolves into a terrorism/myaterdom project. This is one of my all time favorite books. Read the book before seeing the movie (which is also excellent)

You wake up and you read this.

You'll be caught right away by Palahniuk's sweeping aphorisms and fresh writing style. Likely, you've heard of the film or have even seen it before you even knew there was a novel. Read it anyway. It's for people who crave twisted psychological tones, fans of drama or Chuck Palahniuk in general, and heck, even chemists. This book is a special snowflake.

Before You Die

This is one of those books that you just have to read before you die. It has many plot twists and is one of my favorite novels. If you haven't read anything by Chuck Palahniuk, this is where you should start.

Absolutely Amazing.

My favorite book of all time, 'Fight Club' is absolutely amazing with every page. Everything about this novel is so unique and captivating that only Chuck Palahnuick could come up with it. Don't expect to find anything like this! Written brilliantly and artfully, Palanuhnick's 'Fight Club' has been made into a cult classic for a reason.

Chuck Palahnuik's masterpiece that is Fight Club, like all his novels, is absolutely riveting and impossible to put down. I'm quite sure it has persuaded many a young man into initiating a fight club of their own and has forced many men and women to rethink society. This book is a staple of modern American literature and literature period.

Fight Club is one of Palahniuk's best and a must read! Even as a

Fight Club is one of Palahniuk's best and a must read! Even as a woman I found value in reading this masculine book on many levels. The themes, motifs, characterization, and writing style are all fantastic with nice twists that are different from the film adaptation.

Just what I was expecting

I read this book after falling in live with the story from the movie so much, I had to read the origin from the story. Did not disapoint me. The narration made it very fun to read and I look forward to reading it again in the future.

An Essential for the Contemporary Reader

I could not sum up the impact or importance of this work of fiction. It's not just a good story that became a movie. It's a revolutionary work of writing that changed the landscape modern literature as we know it. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK. Read it and hate it, if you must, but at least read it. You will not be disapointed.

quite good!

Fight Club is not the typical book I would read. I am more into reading about realistic situations, some romance, or nonfiction. Fight Club isn't my number one choice and it didn't catch my eye right away. This book surprised me! I thought this book was going to be about fighting and it was going to go into great detail with blood and killing, but that is false! This book has deeper meaning like finding who you are and you will ask yourself how far will you go to follow someone blindly? The ending is definetely the best part and it had a unexpected, shocking twist!

Moving, a true classic.

This book, originally a 7 page short story, is perfect. It's inspirational. Must read for all.

If you have seen the movie pass

Practically the exact same as the movie.
