Fight Club *book* Review

Fight Club addresses many issues in American society, and in oneself. Our protagonist of the book is a middle aged man who has insomnia and narcolepsy. He works for a car company and lives in a condo. The book starts off with the somewhat monotonous depressed narrator who feels, "too complete," meaning, he will never become anything more than this mediocre middle-aged man that he is, and never will be some great person to be remembered.
He sees his doctor, hoping for treatment for his insomnia. The doctor gives him nothing, and tells him he needs natural sleep. The narrator claims he is in pain; the doctor tells him that he should go see cancer support groups, and those people are in real pain.
The narrator becomes hooked on the support groups. When everyone, "shares" themselves, and begins to cry, the narrator begins to cry and lets himself go. When he no longer cares about anything, he feels enlightened and can sleep again.
His enlightment is elimated abruptly because of a woman named Marla Singer. Marla goes to the support groups too, but she has no real diseases like our narrator. Seeing another faker, he can not cry, therefore he can not sleep. He is frustrated and decides to tell her she must leave because he needs this.
Marla refuses. The narrator then compromises with her, and asks that she split up the week. She take bowel cancer one day, he get parasites the other day, etc. She agrees. They exchange numbers, and are off on their own separate ways.
The narrator's later endeavors bring him to meet Tyler Durden. He meets Tyler on a beach, and takes an immediate liking to him; he is successful, smart, and wise. The two become good friends.
The narrator goes home one night to find his condo gone. It was blown up. The narrator is miserable; he considered the condo like himself and it was, "almost complete." He calls Tyler and the two meet at a bar to talk.
The narrator explains how he feels at a loss because that condo was him. Tyler says they were just things, but unfortunately in this society, "thing things you own end up owning you," referring to the frustration the narrator is feeling because of his loss of his condo. He says not to care, and thinks it is funny men care and depend so much about things like brand names, comforters, products, etc.
Tyler and the narrator are leaving. The narrator complains he needs to find a hotel, and Tyler tells him just to ask to stay at his place for the night. The narrator asks, and Tyler let's him. He then asks for a favor; he wants the narrator to hit him as hard as he can. The narrator thinks it's crazy. Tyler says he's never been in a fight and doesn't want to die without any scars. The narrator hits him, and the two start fighting.
Their fighting attracts other men. Tyler and the narrator then start Fight Club; a club where men can really be men and find manhood.
The narrator realizes that he was not alone in feeling too complete and not feeling like a man.
This is all I have to say, as I do not want to spoil the book... I give the book 5 out of 5 stars. Not only is the story intricate and intriguing, but the style of writing is very different from tradtional writing. Fight Club is one of my favorite stories of all time. It is so in-depth and contains so much, it is surprising that it is only a book of between 200-300 pages. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to read a new writing style, view new ideas, and just read an awesome story.
