__Synopsis__

We chose this book because we thought it would be an enjoyable book to read. This book is set up where the main character starts at the top only to take himself down. He is handed everything he needs in life and has his whole life planned out for him from the start. This relates to transcendentalism in a way. He doesn't want to be handed everything in life he wants to make his own name. "A stunning debut. . . . Craig Davidson asks-and answers-some big, uncomfortable questions about the nature of our humanity. //The Fighter//is an essential novel, destined for cult status at the very least."-Irvine Welsh, author of //The////Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs//

The looks as though it is going to be a parallel to the story Fight Club. "Davidson...smudges the line between comedy and horror, cruelty and mercy. His remarkable stories are challenging and upsetting... Don't look for comfort here."

—Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club. The story line is how this man gets beaten up in a bathroom and finds the need to start an underground fight venue. He was a born fighter and he has his father and others to train him

The book is a bit underground and we would expect some of the scenes to be a bit inappropriate. This book is also exceptionally violent, but we don't see that as an issue because we are all grown men who have a handle on our emotions. You should let us read this book because we believe that it will be educational, and it will help us to see a side of poverty that we are not used to seeing. It will reveal the seedy underbelly of the underground fight circuit.
