Industry Reviews "Palahniuk is a vivid writer. The fractured distance of his language evokes a landscape in which the connections have broken down." Los Angeles Times Book Review - Charlotte Innes (08/18/1996)
"A volatile, brilliantly creepy satire filled with esoteric tips for causing destruction....Along with instructions for executing...quirky acts of urban terrorism, 'Fight Club' offers diabolically sharp and funny writing." Washington Post Book World - Karen Angel (12/01/1996)
