Fight Club is basically about this dude (we'll call him Jack), and he doesn't really like his life. But when Jack meets a guy named Tyler Durden everything changes. Tyler and Jack start up Fight Club were he and Tyler and other people who feel society has done them wrong fight, they fight in Fight Club. And one thing adds to another and this little Fight Club turns into something really really big, Project Mayhem, where they mess with civilization and all of society. And in this book some chick named Marla Singer ties into it all.
I loved this book. In my opinion it is an example of a perfect novel. From start to finish it will be hard to put the book down. After reading this book it will make you look at life and everything a little different, and any novel that actually effects what you think of life you know that's one HECK of a read.

WARNING: This novel is not for all ages. I think if your about 14 or 15 and on would be the appropriate age group for this book. Fight Club is violent, has some sexual references, and some suggestive themes, and a little language.

Brilliant book.

I'd put the age appropriacy line higher, though. more like 17 or 18.
Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.

I've been meaning to read this for sometime--there's a poster for the movie in my English class, plus it's by Palahniuk, an author from whom Panic! At The Disco gets a lot of inspiration. Just gotta wait for the library to get it. :(

The book wasnt that bad. I think 17 or older may be a little extreme.

Its one of the most disturbing books I've ever read. The film was rated R for a reason. Books are more graphic, by virtue of our imaginations.

Still, it depends on who you are. In any case, take caution. ;)

^
But looking back on it (its been a while sense Ive read it) it didn't seem THAT bad. Sure, there were some parts that I don't think would be appropriate for some but still.

You must understand, I work at a daycare and one of our boys (aged 10), told one of our other boys to "Shut the f*ck up" on the playground. When queried, he informed me that he learned it from the books he and his father read together. I'm only suggesting that caution is exercised. Besides, you'll likely appreciate the book much more in 6 years or so.

Hello hungry!
"Dad! I'm serious."
I thought you were hungry?
"Are you kidding me?"
No. I'm dad.
  








There was nothing he enjoyed more than a good book. He'd wander into the study, take down some leather-bound volume, and eat it.
