A man who struggles with insomnia meets a colorful extremist, and they create a secret organization together.
Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation’s most visionary satirist in this, his first book. Fight Club’s estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches in the basement of bars. There, two men fight "as long as they have to." This is a gloriously original work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world.
Loved the movie, and was a bit disappointed with the book because I was expecting something more.
It is very close to the movie, up until the last part.
The ending almost made me give 5 stars.
