This is not normally a book I would gravitate towards but it definitely hit on themes that I agree and disagree with. The way that the author tackled through the life the narrator has before and the lift he has after Tyler Durden is so seamless. We go from having two different personalities, the narrator, who has been playing it safe for so long and Tyler who is ballsy at everything he does. Throughout the novel, it seems as though the narrator goes from his playing it safe attitude to not knowing where he starts and Tyler ends. It also gets at the idea of the working class people who go through the jobs and brunt work that they're not happy about and them sticking a big middle finger to the upper class rich people for the way that they benefit from the system. I probably wouldn't do most of the things that Tyler does in this book, but you see the way that his charming personality and the ballsy approach he has make an effect on creating this brotherhood across the country that would do anything for him. It's just so crazy.
