Gimmicky, badly written, predictable, in desperate need of an editor.

What a bizarre little book. I should expect nothing less from Palahniuk.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Death, Drug use
This non-glamorizing satire of the porn industry is exactly what I’d expect from the author. I definitely don’t recommend it to anyone but personally feel he did an amazing job. It’s gross, though. Proceed with caution.

The ick never left my face while I was reading this, and I really only finished it so I could hate on it properly. Someone please tell me I just chose the worst Palahniuk book as my first because this was awful. The writing style, the language, the content, all of it. And I'm not saying "the content" because of the porn and cussing. I read monster smut, idgaf about language like that. I'm talking about the unnecessary slurs, the implied incest, the constant "dude" and "true fact" and how every single vulgar line seemed to only have been written to force a reaction out of the reader.

not the best book i’ve ever picked up but an intriguing premise and a funny quick read
Another of Chuck's too-predictable failures. I think he was aiming for shock and surprise but he missed.
