 An underground classic since its first publication in 1996, Fight Club is now recognized as one of the most original and provocative novels published in this decade. Chuck Palahniuk's darkly funny first novel tells the story of a godforsaken young man who discovers that his rage at living in a world filled with failure and lies cannot be pacified by an empty consumer culture. Relief for him and his disenfranchised peers comes in the form of secret after-hours boxing matches held in the basements of bars. Fight Club is the brainchild of Tyler Durden, who thinks he has found a way for himself and his friends to live beyond their confining and stultifying lives. But in Tyler's world there are no rules, no limits, no brakes.   less

The only book I've ever read 17 times cover-to-cover in a month. Maybe out of lack of anything better to do, but mostly because I love every word of it.

A funny, yet harrowing self-destructive journey through Tyler Durden's mind.  Palahniuk manages to work minimalism here to great effect.

I read a lot, but there are not that many books that I can really say have changed my thinking or altered the way that I look at the world. I was first turned on by the movie, which I thought was done just as well, maybe better, than the book. But the book also has a lot going for it.

In Tyler We Trust.

The book is just as good as the movie.  It's smart, funny, and affecting.

I would give this book a 4 1/2 stars.  I'm not certain what's holding me back from giving it five.  Still, a damn good book.  "I'm Tyler Durden!"

One of my all-time favourites. Brutal yet hilarious, a spoof of our modern obsession with material wealth.

A great thinking story that was wonderfully adapted to the big screen.

Short but brilliant! Loved the film and the book was even better. The different ending puts a new slant on the story, while the writing style and pace makes for an absorbing story.
