Review: Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk

This book was awesome. Surprisingly, I didn't find that it was as violent as it sounds. Don't get me wrong it is violent, there are fights and lots of mayhem. However, I think there is also a lot of witty dialog between the characters that draws you in and philosophy about the nature of people today, which I did not expect. The characters in this book are outrageous, yet somehow believable. I loved this book, because it was very convincing and the best shocker. For those tempted, DO NOT watch the movie it will give it away and the whole book will not have the same effect. For those who have already seen the movie, this book is still good and is fun in that you are able to catch the subtleties and hints. I am a fan of this book and although it tends to have a masculine draw, I think ladies will enjoy this book too (for you semi-romantics, you will never read about a stranger love triangle). I recommend this book for anyone who wants something that has good (but maybe a little crude) humor, and lots of action.
