I actually saw the movie before reading the book, so unfortunately, I knew where the plot was headed. Even so, the book was every bit as gripping as the movie. I'm not one of those purists who get angry because things in the movie don't match up exactly with things in the book (in fact, I barely r...

Summary: The unnamed narrator of this book uses support groups, for afflictions he is not a victim of, as a cure for his insomnia until he meets a fellow support group junkie, Marla Singer. Marla also attends support groups of various conditions and the narrator finds himself being judged for being ...

The book is just as good as the movie, and it's quite interesting to read 'Fight Club' after you've seen the movie because you can pick up on all the small things which you wouldn't have noticed or paid much attention to if you didn't know the ending/plot twist.

Cross-eyed and painless, I'm like many who had read this book after loving the film, only to love the author and his outrageous and overblown themes. The brilliant and jarring cross-fertilization of ideas is what really got me going, although the dialog and characterizations were what rooted me to t...

The first Palahniuk work that I've actually really liked. Admittedly, I saw the movie a decade plus ago and fell in love with the story, the depth, the ideas. The book is what I expected - a more detailed (yet less detailed) version of the same thing, the same events. It's well written, and in an in...

Palahniuk's debut novel is a shocking reflection on our society and its horrors, and though it owes a lot to previous authors (Easton Ellis above all), for its scope and abundance of themes is totally worth reading.Video-review:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JLb3PrqGIs&feature=youtu.be

Les contaría lo mucho que me encantó éste libro, pero la primera regla del club de la lucha es que nadie habla del club de la lucha —y no quiero romper la regla, le tengo miedito a Tyler—.PD: Lo unico que puedo decir es que si eres fanático (como yo) de los giros finales inesperados, tipo Sexto Sent...

Oh dear. Another rating conundrum. Soooo, Fight Club. This book dives right into the action. In fact, Palahniuk serves us bite sized pieces of plot, packed in chapters. His style is pretty unique, post-modern, shall we say. I did not care for it much at first. I don't think I would've been able to f...

Well ... I guess I have to break the first two rules of Fight Club. TROLOLOLO. Seriously though, the joke gets so overused so ... yeah. We can all now acknowledge that I am talking about Fight Club and then get on with our lives. Anyway, I should probably be doing homework or something else producti...
