While it's certainly not flawless, I really enjoyed Fight Club. Chuck Palahniuk has a strong and interesting writing style that elevated the narrative and themes of this book, while also making it stand out from any other book I've read. Though it's sometimes over the top angst can drag it down, it has a lot of important things to say. If you're a fan of the 1999 film, or would be interested in it's political themes regarding gender and capitalism, I'd highly recommend this book.
