5.0

this book was excellent. it was written in a way that reminds me of kurt vonnegut. it had me on the edge of my seat and throwing my hand over my mouth in utter shock. i love how bluntly it’s written, and i like the satire undertones. the plot itself is excellent and even though none of the characters were really lovable (except for bob,

rip bob you will be missed, i cried at your death

somehow you can still relate to some of the characters in certain ways. i love the message of how bad wordly possessions are. also, for once, i think the move adaptation of the book is equally as good. im planning on re-reading this book while listening to the soundtrack (dust brothers, the soundtrack is excellent) so, yeah. i love this book. made me really think.

The first time I've personally said this, but I did like the movie better. At least the ending. But I love how Palahniuk writes and it will always hold a special place for me. I was definitely late to this party, this was my fourth Palahniuk book and the third time he's gotten me out of a reading slump.

Split Personality meets cult leader of a regime army that follows a bunch of rules. Can’t really talk about it though, because of the first rule.
