NOT FOREVER BUT FOR NOW by CHUCK PALAHNIUK
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Meet Otto and Cecil. Two brothers growing up privileged in the Welsh countryside. They enjoy watching nature shows, playing with their pet pony, impersonating their Grandfather...and killing the help. Murder is the family business after all. Downton Abbey, this is not.



True to form this Chuck Palahniuk book comes with a trigger warning. Like all of his books this one pushed the envelope. I wish it was more story and less of trying to be a shock value, almost to the point where I was losing interest. I wish I loved it like I love his other books.

This is Chuck Palahniuk. He is outrageous in storytelling and pulls no punches in what he writes about. If you are a "that is problematic" person you will hate him.

I enjoyed the book and liked it was a metaphor for addiction.

I think people need to look up what Chuck Palahniuk writes before they read his books.
Vile, depraved, morally reprehensible.
