Summary: a good book, also a little different from expectation
Review: fight club is a very good tight book, but you might i thought david fincher did a better job with playing around with palahniuk's material. the style is loose, irreverent and lyrical. the story is dark, violent and extremely confronting. towards the end the story slacks off a little- maybe so because i had fincher's film in mind. fight club as it is a economical in storytelling, but fincher made it tighter, and no doubt, better.

Summary: Scum of the Earth
Review: Fight Club isn't just a novel. It is a look into our world, the world that are our friends, co workers, lovers, cab drivers, etc. This book shows you a different view of this world. The view is that everyone is scum, and we give up to easy. Tyler Durden takes these scum and makes them proud to be alive. Gives them something to live for other than a minumum wage 9-5 job. This book is incredible. Its a book that should stand out though all ages in its type. A story of how one man loses it all, maybe even his sanity, thats for you to decide, and makes life the way he wants it, and helps people think the same way. Could this book be a Bible? I wouldn't doubt that many that read this book are so taken aback from it that they may follow the rules of Fight Club and Project Mayham themselves. Dont let this incredible book sit on the shelf in a bookstore. Go and get a copy now.

Summary: Writer's Hell
Review: Chuck Palahniuk (or "Chuck," as his followers refer to him) describes his writing practice in FIGHT CLUB in the following way: "I write in the way that people speak." But who ARE these people, exactly?, one is tempted to ask. Twelve-year-olds? The illiterate? FIGHT CLUB is a catastrophically written book. The writing isn't merely bad: it is aggressively bad. I have never read a book with more grammatical and stylistic infelicities. It is difficult to understand how a "book" composed of pasted-together post-it notes could be published. What were the editors at Henry Holt doing as FIGHT CLUB went to the presses? Was their editorial effort too herculean for them? The weaknesses of the author's writing style are to be marvelled at. I suspect that the author's followers are filled with a sense of self-confidence when presented with the work of someone who writes as well as them. Sentences like, "You wake up and you're nowhere" (FIGHT CLUB, p. 33) do not inspire much enthusiasm. Such statements bear an uncomfortable resemblance to lyrics by Van Halen or Bob Seger. The difficulties with FIGHT CLUB are not limited to its awkward, clumsy, lazy style, unfortunately. There is also the unavoidable problem of content. The premise of the book is as follows: fighting enhances one's feeling of virility. I do not have a problem with this premise because it is is politically reactionary (although it is) or merely bland and conventional (although it is that, as well). My problem is that this premise is absolutely illogical. Since when is getting beaten up empowering? How bad is FIGHT CLUB? Give a monkey a typewriter and it could write a better book. If hell were a library, FIGHT CLUB would be burned on the ninth floor.

Summary: Worst book ever
Review: I thought this book was pretty bad to be honest. I didn't like the story line and I didn't like the way the author wrote the book. He goes from one thing to another without really explaining anything in detail. The book is basically about the main character that suffers from insomnia, which is someone who cannot sleep. He goes to support groups in churches and halls for diseases he does not even suffer from. He goes to cancer groups and any other group that was there at the time. He went only to feel loved and liked someone cared and so he could feel comfortable letting his feelings show. Then he meets a woman named Marla. He does not like Marla because she is there for the same reason he is and he does not want to be found out. So he makes a deal with her for him to go on certain days to certain groups and she would do the same. He meets a man named Tyler Durden who makes and sells soap. They started a club where people go to let out frustration and anger. In this club they fight each other but have nothing against each other and they do not get paid. They come up with this project mayhem thing. Which is them doing things that they think will help the world be a better place. I give this book one out of five stars.

Summary: Fight Club
Review: I thought this book was very profound. It has had an impact on my life. It showed me that life isn't about living without regrets. You have to take chances to live a real life. It is about a man who has insomnia. He meets a girl at one of the group meetings that he goes to for his insomnia. Then, he met a man named Tyler Durden. They went to a bar for a couple of drinks, and when they came out, Tyler told the guy to hit him as hard as he could. They started fighting for no other reason but to let out anger. People saw them fighting so they started fighting for the same reason. That's how fight club started. Later, the fight club turns into something more than that. It becomes Project Mayhem. The purpose of this club was to create chaos to civilization. They caused a lot of damage to the world. Project Mayhem, was spreading. That is the best part of the book. After you read up to this point, it just gets better, and you'll never want to put the book down.

Summary: yeah, i'd read it again
Review: We are God's forsaken middle children. The scum of this earth. If you feel like you are nothing, then you are well on your way to understanding Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club. The unknown, Christ like protagonist leads us through a pain filled world so that we might have a better relative understanding of what really is pain. The piece opens with our hero struggling to sleep, and asking for some sort of medication that will finally grant him dormancy. "I'm in a lot of pain, here," he says. "You want to see pain," the doctor says, "Then go to the testicular cancer group at so and so church on Wednesday nights." From this point our champion becomes addicted to dying persons' support groups, because he is able to take a new perspective on life.
As readers we are walked through a series of these groups until we are introduced to Marla, another "faker" in these support groups. After meeting Marla, our "Joe" is no longer able to reap the benefits of these support groups because he sees his own deception in her. And so he leaves, seeking another form of therapy.
At this point we are introduced to Tyler. Tyler comes to us as a guy who as seen rock bottom. He knows how bad it can be and so is unphased by everything else. After our leading man's apartment, his soul, is blow up he seeks refuge with Tyler, and this is where to fun really begins.

Summary: The Interesting Fight Club
Review: Review My thoughts on the story fight club are that it will start off very confused. You will feel like you don't know what's going on. A chapter will end in one location, and the start of the next chapter will have a totally different place. This story was based on two men who were starting a club because they were angry about many things in their life. They decided to let their anger out in these clubs. The clubs eventually got out of control for even the ones who started fight club. It goes beyond fight club to out side situations in the real world. This book was not too interesting at the beginning. I had my doubts. But as I read on I realized that it was starting to get very fascinating and I enjoyed it very much.

Summary: Velly good
Review: I really LOVE Chuck but I thought this his least wonderful work. Maybe I have to give it another go. I didn't much care for the movie Fight Club then I read the book and I liked that a lot. SO I had to see the movie again and I loved it. Go figure. Moody isn't the right word but it's the first that comes to mind. So I highly recommend this book but I would read Choke and all Chucks others first.
