Anyone who says they understand Fight Club doesn't at all

A glorious, hilarious, violent, and unnerving romp through nihilism and especially anti-consumerism. Though I don't think this is Chuck's best work (probably much to the surprise of others), it is nonetheless spectacular. Every time I read it, I glean a little more from it.

Not a bad book, so far as it goes. I'm surprised by how similar it is to the movie, how much of the words were lifted straight into the film script. I was a little worried I'd either love it a dozen times more or less than the movie, but I suppose they come out about even. I'm still not buying whate ... (continue)

I'm still not buying whatever Palahniuk's selling, but it's an enjoyable afternoon's read.

In the world of Fight Club, our world, some young people full of health attend centers for terminally ill because these place are the only one where they can find understanding and pity.
It's a world where men gather in the undergrounds for fight with bare hands.
Above all is a world where no one cares if you live or die.
Tyler Durden is the nihilist messiah who invented Fight Club thanks to him thousand of young men attend to their workplaces with broken noses, fallen teeth and swollen faces.
The mysterious purpose of Tyler Durden is to push is generation toward the extreme sense of hopelessness and desperation and flows them into a state of total anarchy.Generational clash, children who kill parents.
Expression of realism, prophetic and provocative romance considered since 1996 one of the most important work of the nineties. From this book the director David Fincher has extrapolated a cult film with Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter.

Il finale mi ha lasciato sorpresa perchè ti domandi così quale era la vera realtà del protagonista. Non mi è piaciuta la violenza che c'era in questo libro.

"Perchè ho provocato tanto dolore?
Non mi sono reso conto che ciascuno di noi è un sacro, irripetibile fiocco di neve di speciale irripetibile specialità?
Non vedo come siamo tutti manifestazioni di amore?

"Perchè ho provocato tanto dolore?
Non mi sono reso conto che ciascuno di noi è un sacro, irripetibile fiocco di neve di speciale irripetibile specialità?
Non vedo come siamo tutti manifestazioni di amore?
Io guardo Dio dalla sua scrivania che prende appunti su un bloc-notes, ma Dio non ha capito un bel niente.
Noi non siamo speciali.
Non siamo nemmeno merda o immondizia.
Noi siamo.
Noi siamo soltanto e quello che succede succede soltanto"

uno dei pochi casi in cui il film è 10000 volte meglio. Chuck ha uno stile particolare, vale cmq la pena fare un tentativo.
