This is pretty much just a story about disenfranchised males who have no other outlet within society other than beating the shit out of each other to build an underground empire.I think that the only reason that I stuck with this book was because I was curious as to how the author could construct the reveal of (view spoiler)[ Tyler Durden being the narrator (hide spoiler)]. I have to say that the style used to structure the narrative was the most intriguing part. The simultaneous focus upon the external and internal dialogue and interpretations made the skill needed to construct the framework of the story apparent. Yet, the story itself was not that great. The story was hard to get through. Speaking from the perspective of someone who commonly finds problems within my own life and how I exist in society, there were moments that really did shine but they were the ones that were incumbent upon simple prose and language, not the I-am-going-to-bash-you-over-the-head-with-senseless-repetition that pervaded the narrative. Honestly, I just tried to slog through the story and (for the first time in my life) I enjoyed the film adaptation much more than this.
