Fight Club

Love the book , a phenomenal masterpiece written by Chuck Palahniuk , it's satirical , mind numbing and crisp... can't believe he wrote this masterpiece on just a normal afternoon in his office.

Well, I watched the movie first, so I was already aware of the story. I would rate this book 8.5/10. The story is attention catching. Well written. Gives the vibes of dark anarchy. Random Profanity and sexual stuff is there in the story. However I didn't feel connected to the story, probably because I'm used to more classic literature. But still it's a good book of you need something interesting to read.

The book is of course great, this is a review of the packing and print Surprisingly, the cover shown is actually the cover but considering it's quite reasonable compared to other editions, it's fine The book was also not damaged

Got it in the best condition possible at very fair price...it has spanish version along with english one...

I had almost lost my habit of reading for a few years. Until I found Fight Club. The first rule of Fight Club is you don’t talk about Fight Club. But realistically speaking, it is so good that you just can't not talk about it. Be it Fight Club: the book, Fight Club: the movie or Fight Club: the concept. Fight Club was a phenomenon, generating a cult following for Palahniuk all over the world. It is Palahniuk's debut work, and established him as one of the most visionary satirists of this generation. Fight Club is an attempt at throwing light on how the world runs, or more like how the underbelly of the white collar world runs. It is an underground, illegal group that meets in the basements of bars across the country where white collar, lowlife failures meet to fight until they have to. Only to show up the next day at work with a black eye, a swollen lip and lacerations where the sun doesn’t shine. Once a guy has taken a fight, he feels alive. A good fight makes one believe that he can take on anything.

Exhilarating

One of the best books I've ever read.Chuck's writing is unorthodox and refreshing. I suggest you read the book even if you had seen the movie. For 350 odd bucks, quality of the book is just terrible. Looks like it was printed using recycled paper and that too a bad one. Since I loved the book, I'm giving it 4 stars. On a side note, I must say David Fincher did a hell of a job making it into a movie. Having watched the movie number of times, I can say the movie captured the essence of the book and Norton, Brad & Bonham Carter did complete justice to their roles.

Doesn't matter if you have or haven't watched the movie ! Give this a read, it's fun (few of his mindesets are not reflected in the movie though). The style is damn simple. In case you are Dickensian you will hate this for it's simplicity or in his words, "I write in verbs. I don't use adjectives". Yet there's a good chance that you too will like this work for the absurdity it speaks about. (It's out of place still I couldn't skip mentioning Rick and Morty when it comes to obfuscation life and possession (of materials and thoughts) as that best of my time series ever) Back o the book, it's a quick read of tale of desperate common American, told in a dramatic fasion ! Give it a read for the later part. It's a thumbs up from me.

I’ve seen the movie several times and enjoyed it so I thought why not read the book. All I can say is it didn’t disappoint.

PTT Kargo ile yapılan gönderim hususunda soru işaretlerim vardı ama sorunsuz şekilde ulaştırıldı. Gelen kitap kapağı ile satıştaki görsel arasında fark mevcut. Filmden sonra yeniden basıldığı için kapakta da oyuncuların görsellerine yer verilmiş. Bilginize.

There's no doubt that "Fight Club" fame is derived by the success of its movie adaptation, Palahniuk knows that and he says it at the end of the book. The story by itself is catchy, nice written, with great characters and thrilling situations. Movie and book have its particularities both in storytelling as in descriptions and characters. In my opinion, Fincher adaptation is darker than Palahniuk's story, but the last is less "Hollywood" and "The narrator" is without a doubt less naive and morally contradicted that in the movie. If you have seen the movie and love it this book wouldn't disappoint you.

Una de las mejores novelas contemporáneas que he disfrutado mucho leyendo en inglés. La edición no es nada del otro mundo pero el contenido y la novela es una maravilla.
