Definitely read like something I’d be asked to read in a postmodern lit class. A little grimy. Overall enjoyable
Palahniuk's disgusting, true to life descriptions are my favorite thing about his novels.
If you can handle the truly unpleasant subject matter and setting, you'll find a well-crafted story and unforgettable characters. But the best thing about the book -- and I'm guessing this is why Palahniuk wrote it -- is the never-ending list of porno movie titles. Making these up will be my new favorite parlor game. "The Ass Menagerie." "Beat me in St. Louis." "Lay Misty for Me."
It was interesting story. Sad and funny and pathetic all at the same time.

An acquired taste, but a realistic view of being behind the scenes on an adult set and well played drama. A darkly fun, very explicit story.

for a book about porn it was surprisingly full of heart
