Kolejna ksiazka, ktora bardzo dlugo ze mna zostanie. Mozna mowic, ze Palahniuk to autor dla mlodziezy buntowniczej, ale ja bedac juz duzo starszy odnajduje w tym drugie i trzecie dno.
Another book that will stay with me for a long time. You can say that Palahniuk is an author for rebellious youth, but I, being much older, find a second and third meaning in this.

This is truly a book I would not recommend to anyone, haha. It is explicit, over the top, and just downright excessive when it comes to the perversions of humanity. However, it is a book that really does an effective job making you think about the critiques and messages that is trying to portray. Seeing humans at their absolute worse trapping themselves in their own versions of victimhood made me cringe at times.
Out of all of the stories, 'Exodus' by Director Denial and 'Speaking Bitterness' by Commander Snarky are the two that stood out to me the most and got the most reaction out of me. 'Guts' by Saint Gut-Free was a really effective way to start the stories itself, but it was the two mentioned that truly stayed in my mind for a while.
The ending was also poetic, these characters are truly victims to their own screwed up ideologies.

dnf at 200 pages. don’t think i’m in the headspace for it rn but i’ll probably come back here soon.
THAT COVER IS INTRIGUING...YET DECEITFUL.
Well this was an interesting read. There were some elements that I enjoyed and some that bore me to tears. I would have liked the different stories to have individual personalities but instead they all still sounded like they were one person.

DNF. This was beyond what I can tolerate. I gave up. It is too bizarre for me. It is just way too weird and way too gory.
