3.4 AVERAGE


I really liked this book. Some parts of it were pretty amusing and it had a lot of really cool and disturbing concepts in each short story. I always kinda struggle with main plot points that make me read between the lines, so that’s not the books fault but I didn’t really understand the overall message it was trying to send.

Haunting... really.

weird and gross

So fucked up in so many ways but fairly entertaining I guess

I had to give up on this book. I made it about halfway through. To the best of my knowledge this is only the second book I’ve ever not finished, it leaves me feeling really unsettled. It just didn’t hold my interest. I even had trouble remembering details about each character it was just all so blurred. I love the other Palahniuk novels I’ve read. Disappointed. Can’t rate.

Shock literature? I'm sure I would have been able to get through it, but I had no desire to.

Chuck Palahniuk I hate you for writing a book that is so well-written that I had to finish the whole thing but so disturbing I hated almost every second of it

Definitely not for everyone!! I love this author.
