Book Review: Fight Club!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh my god! This book. This auther is one of a kind. This book amazes me. After watching the movie and reading the book, I have a deep heart now to the dark and funny novels. I brag about the book as if it was my child. Chuck in my point of view is the new albert e. His ability to surprise his audience and puts them in suspension is unbelievable. For me this books is real. Real in my life. Insomnia is real to me. I have insomnia.
This book is hope to all those dark and unfortunate. He is the auther of this world.
Book Review: Fight Club: A Short Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Fight Club, by Chuck Palahniuk, is a contemporary fiction novel that centers on the first-person narrator of the book, a friend of Tyler Durden. When the narrator of the book, whose name is never revealed in the story, meets Tyler, he is thrust into a completely different world - an exciting, dark world that challenges everything in his boring, quotidian life. Other ordinary citizens with ordinary jobs - lawyers, bankers, office workers, and even policemen - are introduced to Tyler's fight club, where violent fights with complete strangers take place. As the plot unravels, more and more is learned about Tyler and the narrator while fight club develops and expands. Tyler's invented activities become more and more dangerous, and the narrator finds his original life degenerating before his eyes. I found this to be an excellent novel, written in Palahniuk's unique, captivating style. This book has broken through the cliché themes and plots of other books and carries a unique sense of reality.
Chuck Palahniuk's genius-type thinking is seen in the plot construction and characters he creates from imagination. I highly recommend and encourage this novel to anyone who wants to catch a glimpse of a world that challenges the mundane rote of wake up, eat, job/school, eat, job/school, miscellaneous activity, home, eat, sleep. In his book, Palahniuk shows a place where ordinary people like Tyler Durden are enabled to change the world and break free from the rules of society. An unusual, interesting, and impacting read for anyone.
Book Review: From a Fight Club lover to you.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Few books feel like a punch in the face when read, but Fight Club, by Chuck Palahnuik, definitely hits you hard. Depicting our world as a lost one, one without hope and compassion, it tells of a insomniac who uses support groups, and crying, to fall asleep at night. Until a woman shows up, another healthy person touring the support groups to find a one night band-aid for her emotional problems. Thats when Tyler Durden, a man who makes soap out of human fat, and uses the money to fund his anarchist ways, steps in. Together they create Fight Club, and off the story goes. The ending is a good one, one most wouldn't have thought of by the time the Narrator and Durden are standing in the building they've rigged with explosives. It's not a happy book, and it tells no lies, and Palahniuk proves that nihilism can come from strange corners.Book Review: Good book but not quite as well as the movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
I hate to say that I liked the movie better than the book but I did. But before you decide that this is a horrible review, let me finish. The book is is narrated by a guy we don't know, what we do know is that he's an insomniac and that he goes to support groups to help him sleep. Then he meets Tyler Durden and the two start Fight Club. An underground boxing club, but this eventually escalates in Project Mayhem. Project Mayhem features members of Fight Club going out and commiting acts of vandalism before they reach their goal. Anyway, why did I like the movie more? The movie was more visual (which is kind of obvious) and the story kind of went along a little better. Plus,
in the movie, Tyler Durden was considered (more or less) the main character. In the book however he really isn't. Some of the events that took place in the movie like the part where they steal fat from a lipo-suction clinic, featured the narrator and Tyler. In the book its the narrator and some other guy. And also, in the book. The narrators relationship with Marla Singer is a little bit deeper,rather than the I-Hate-You
relationship they had in the movie.B+.
Book Review: Good way to pass a day
Summary: 4 Stars
This book doesn't way in at much over 200 pages, and is one of the few cases I've ever seen where the movie was as good, if not better, than the book. It's a good read, but I don't think it's something I would read more than once.
