About this listen

Every weekend, in basements and car parks across the country, young men with good white-collar jobs and absent fathers take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded. Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything.

Fight Club is the invention of Tyler Durden, projectionist, waiter, and dark, anarchic genius. And it's only the beginning of his plans for revenge on the world...

It’s worth a listen if you like the movie

If you have watched the movie before the book. You will be able to picture everything that is happening. I love the movie and for the book it is good as well. But I feel like the narrator falls a bit flat.

Not Recommended During Psychosis

I got this audiobook in 2020, peak COVID, when I was institutionalized for a very short period of time. I listened to it for half hour and then stopped as it reinforced the severe psychosis I was going through. I picked Fight Club back up the past two weeks, during exercise and driving to and from work. It's an absolute blast to read. It's a mind bending, mental gymnastics saga of backwards philosophy and insightful nonsense that makes sense, even though it's so far fetched and loony bin. It's entertaining, amusing, exhausting & really strange. I'm not going to do anything they did in Fight Club, but I'm still feeling like I've grown as a person. I must admit, the movie was better, but this performance is still great to listen to. If you're in a Fight Club, do not talk about Fight Club, but if you're recommending a book/movie... do not talk about Fight Club!

Profound and concise

Epic counter culture bible ; the movie tracks pretty close to the book. A couple of extra insights here that didn’t make the movie (which was all time itself)

Overdue read

It’s a really well constructed story that is really more of a discussion of ideas than a. It’s losing direction. Even if you know the twist, it’s woven together really skilfully and the narrative holds you to it until the end. And it’s a satisfying ending.
