Chuck Palahniuk has a very wierd writing structure. he writes several one sentence paragraphs in a row.
"Death will commence in five.
Five, four.
Around her, parisitic life spray paints her heart.
Four, three.
Three, two."
Its kind of cool how he does this it speeds up the pace of the passage and allows him to change the subject frequently. Sometimes it's hard to fallow though.
Once the narrator meets Tyler Durden lots of crazy things start to happen. the craziest being that his apartment blows up. The narrator is on a buisness trip when it happens. The explanation given to him is that he blew the pilot light out on his stove which filled the room up with gas and when the bottom of his refrigerator got hot enough it exploded. This is when he moves in with Tyler durden.
One thing I dont really understand is how he interacts physically with Tyler Durden if he's just a hallucination. The scene where tyler pours lye on the narrators wrist to leave him a scar would be physically impossible without two people.
