Snuff

Chuck Palahniuk

3.05 AVERAGE


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.
