This book focuses on the mental health/illness specifically of poor, white men in the US and what happens when a mental health crisis is ignored or downplayed. I went into this book without any idea of the subject matter--I expected it to be about a boxing club--and I was surprised by the dark themes. Palahniuk's novel is an interesting meditation on the failings of our society and how we handle those issues to our own detriment. This book was not an enjoyable read, but nonetheless it was worth my time.

A great book. The style is uniqe and quite simplistic, which makes the reading very fast. Messages in the book are clear, just the methods are over the top.
Definitely recommend to everybody who does not want to just go with the flow.
