A BBC Radio 4 Full-Cast Dramatisation

De: Chuck Palahnuik

Narrado por: Elaine Cassidy, full cast, Patrick Kennedy, Sam Hazeldine

First there was the insomnia.
Then there were the support groups that helped him sleep.
Then Marla Singer turned up, muscled in on ascending bowel cancer and ruined everything.
Then he met Tyler Durden.
Then came Fight Club.

Fight Club is the psychological story of a man's descent into an underground world of violence. Mild mannered product-recall-specialist by day, tortured insomniac by night, our narrator meets Tyler Durden - part-time projectionist, banquet waiter, soap-maker and anarchic genius. Together they create Fight Club. In Fight Club our narrator, and men like him, can escape the monotony of their daily work-dominated, consumer-driven, image-obsessed lives. In Fight Club you can escape who the world thinks you ought to be.

Soon there are Fight Clubs in basement bars in towns and cities across the country; men with cuts, bruises, stitches, missing teeth wherever you look, and Tyler Durden has become an urban legend. But when Tyler invents Project Mayhem and things begin to escalate, there's only one thing to do: shut down Fight Club.

But have they created a monster they can't control?

Chuck Palahniuk's visceral and unflinching cult novel stars Patrick Kennedy, Sam Hazeldine and Elaine Cassidy.

Fine but…

Look, this audiobook is fine. It is very brief and therefore it misses a lot of things. It has some good parts but honestly, it’s not as good as the movie. Performance was great tho!

everything

I really enjoyed the multifaceted nature of the reading, and the many characters made it come to life.

Voice acting is really outstanding

i wish it were longer. it wasn't the whole book. it would be difficult to follow if u haven't read the book or watched the movie.

loved it! It feels very much like the movie.

great! very entertaining. I thought the cast did a wonderful job and it was an enjoyable experience listening to the adaptation.

more details

thought the movie rocked, I thought the books way better. movie doesn't lead into a sequel
