Paranoid Fish reviewed Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
A glimpse into the abyss
5 stars
I don't even know where to begin to describe this novel. Is it satiric? Is it a thriller? Or is it a dark comedy? It's one of these book that let's you take a look into to the abyss of human existence, but it's not really serious either. There's this guy who is bored with life, and then he meets Tyler Durban. They do some really weird shit, one of it is founding the Fight Club, where ordinary people fight 'til they're bleeding, just for the fun of it, or to feel they are alive. But Tyler also has some really mad ideas. If you don't mind some gory scenes, I can absolutely recommend this little novel.
