Book Review

The book Fight Club is a high energy, erratic and creatively written book. This book makes you experience lot of different feelings and emotions, makes you think a lot about what is going to happen next. Our story starts out with an unnamed narrator in the present time and he has a gun to his head. Then the story jumps back in time and he starts the describe the situations that lead to the current predicament he is in. He intrudes himself as a recall specialist for a car company, he hates his job, the hates the consumer culture we live in. Then his life starts to change when he meets Tyler Durden a rebellious anti pop culture character he lives his life not by what people tell him to do but based on what he chooses to do. Tyler is portrayed as a funny, charismatic character but he does have a dark side he seems to stop at nothing to achieve his goal of making the world less reliant on martial things and to destroy the current way society is. Together these two man form an underground fight club where other men that are angry and frustrated with the way there life’s are going. Fight club becomes a place where men that are in pain in some way can go to fight with others and relieve the stress though fighting with others with the same feelings. Fight club starts to spread and there become many different underground fight clubs opening up a lot of different cities in the country, all under the control of Tyler. Tyler then uses the men to cause havoc and destruction all across the country. The brings down buildings and other establishments in other to show the groups distain from society. The story climaxes when Tyler wants to blow up a very large building and the unnamed narrator doesn’t want to do it. This is where to two characters confront each other this leads up to where the story stared with the gun in the unnamed narrators mouth.

This book is was amazing I really liked it, the characters and the story went really well together. I recommend this to anyone that like more twisted and dark books. This is good for someone that was to read a story that’s not from the perspective of some good guy but instead from the perspective of someone deranged and lost. This book was very entraining it, showed a lot of creativity from the author the dark humor in the book was also great. My favorite part of the book was the twist ending that really made you analyze the text as a whole to see if you missed something.
