It has like 3 acts (give or take). The first is harder to read and track given the format as you get used to it and the story evolves. But it gets easier and more interesting as it goes. 300+ pages, but with that in mind, if you're ready for 300, I recommend if you like Palahniuk. Definitely shouldn't be your first Palahniuk, but if you have a feel for his writing it's worth it in the end.
