- wanted to stop reading several times, but also couldn’t put it down
- the plot concept sounded great in theory, but author missed the execution
- really hard to like any of the characters, no real character development
- a lot of references that I didn’t understand 

Interesting premise, but the ending (the "money shot", if you will) falls flat.

RIP Freud, you would have loved this book

This was a fairly good book, but not for people who are easily offended. There is lots of explicit sex-related issues so if this is something you don't like don't read this book.

This book is told from the perspective of four different people. I normally like books that are written like this, but found this one hard to follow in several spots. I had to go back alot and check out things to see what what was happening. There are few surprises and overall this book kept my attention. Not a page-turner, but fairly interesting. It is not my favorite of his books, but was alright.

Entertaining, but not quite up to par with what I expect from Palahniuk.
