This book is pure chaos. I had a little trouble following the narrative, which could have been the product of listening vs. reading. The need to release pent-up frustration about your life through fighting is an interesting idea.

I imagine the sporadic and repetitious nature of this story is an honest reflection of what it feels like to be living with a mental disorder. I had watched pieces of the movie before reading the book, so I knew what to expect. I loved the hints about Tyler Durden actually being the main character. The movie adaptation of this book feels incredibly true to the story. I’d recommend watching it if you haven’t.
