About this listen

A true modern classic, Fight Club is a darkly comic tale of love, rivalry and the lengths men will go to when they need something to make them feel alive.

Every weekend, in basements and car parks across the country, young men with good white-collar jobs and absent fathers take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded. Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything.

Fight Club is the invention of Tyler Durden, projectionist, waiter, and dark, anarchic genius. And it's only the beginning of his plans for revenge on the world....

The first rule about "Fight Club" is not to judge a book by its cover, title or the film trailer. I hadn't really bothered with it because a book about clubs set up for blokes to simply fight sounded a little on the basic side for me . . . but when Audible had it as their daily deal I thought "Why not?", I needed something that would not engage my brain too much.

CLANG! Utterly wrong Simon. The troubled lead in this one and the scattered exploration of his hugely troubled mind is a genuine literary journey. There is far more depth to this than meets the eye. I was really impressed by how the opening scene and the ending bring things together with the same scenario and almost the same words yet meaning something so different.

I still don't think this will appeal to everyone but one thing is is not is a simple book about blokes knocking each other about for kicks!

A Lesson Learned

I loved the film so much that I wanted to have a go at the original text, but was worried that it couldn't live up to expectations. I had nothing to worry about. A fantastically well constructed piece, no worse for knowing what's coming next. A good reading, too.

Enjoy.

I know this because Tyler knows this

A really good book makes you think as well as entertains and this does both...err so that must mean that this is a really good book.

I am breaking the 1st rule

The story is fantastic, and feels different to the movie because so much more is happening internally. But the narration didn't do the personalities (or the flow) justice. It regularly broke me out the trance, which was a pity.

Great story, Slightly disappointing narration

Best Palahniuk book... Narrator is excellent, deliberate Deadpan, just like the film ;-)

Also try, Survivor.. that very good as well....
