Anything Chuck writes is pure gold

I love this man. Crazy, crazy book with tons of "true facts".

"The way to get a babe to act in a blue movie is you offer her a million dollars. The way to get a dude is you just have to ask him."

SUMMARY:
Porn star Cassie Wright wants to break the world record which includes sleeping with 600 different men in one adult film. Through this novel, readers meet men number 72, 137, and 600 and live in this closed proximity for the day of this film.

THOUGHTS: (spoilers!!)
So...this book is bad if anyone was wondering.

Man number 600 is an AWFUL PERSON. The scene where he was peeing in his first love and encouraging number 72 to sleep with Cassie.

Sorely disappointed. Either Palahniuk is writing differently, I'm getting older, or both. Regardless, Snuff is more in line with his more recent efforts - Diary, Rant, Haunted - than his earlier work. The writing was terse and intriguing enough to keep moving forward, as are the dozens of hilariously pun-y porn titles. But the surprises are tame, the situations are boring, and the ending is silly. I will keep my eyes out for his next book, but wearily.

In this fast paced novel, we are guided through almost too claustrophobic circumstances by four characters who take part in a record-breaking gang bang porn video which is believed to become a snuff movie.

Palahniuk confronts us with uncomfortably, disgustingly dressed up story which ultimately is just, for a lack of better words, heartwarming and adorable.

Quick and hilarious.

At first I couldn't get into it. Never read Palahniuk before, but he is often recommended. So I skipped to the end and read the last few chapters to see what I was missing out on. Intrigued, I went back to the front and read through. Pretty effed up story, but it turned out to be an interesting read.

Note to self: Read the end before deciding to abandon a book.

Uf, qué durillo. Palahniuk escribe de maravilla y la traducción es fabulosa, pero la historia me ha resultado simplona y de escaso interés. El concepto inicial tampoco era muy prometedor, pero confiaba en que el autor se superase. Lástima.
