This is the most hateful book I have ever read. I get the feeling Palahniuk hates women and despises trans women especially. I don't recommend this book. Scrolling through kiwifarms will have a similar effect. The ending simply sucked shit. It felt like he got to the climax of the story, when "oh god oh fuck i need to end this somehow" and farted out the most pitiful ending of any novel I've read - ZERO payoff for having read 300 pages of nigh-hatespeech. Disappointing.

This and “Fight Club” should be talked about in the same breath.
