From Little Stack
Yes, another book adapted by David Fincher (and starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham-Carter) but one well-worth the read even if you’ve seen the movie. And, possibly, because you’ve seen it.
While treading more-or-less the same ground as the 1999 film, the book is more-than slightly different; particularly when it comes to the ending. Palahniuk’s Fight Club allows for a deeper dive into the psyche of the ‘Narrator’ while spending more time serving up satire regarding its very premise.
Dynamic and frantic, Fight Club contains one of fiction’s very best – and memorable – plot twists and is equally effective both as a movie or here in its original form.
The first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club.
Fight Club's estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches in the basements of bars. There, two men fight "as long as they have to." This is a gloriously original work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world.
