Had a good concept but poor execution. The constant talk of Fight Club was so weird. Unnecessary ego stroking that did nothing for the story.

Helter skelter! A prescient read about essentially a war of the races that results in the dissolution of the United States into separate regions based on race and sexual preference. A vision of the future? Or a critique of the past? And a fairly good story to boot, although not one of my favorites of Palahniuk’s.

Haha the part where Fight Club comes in was exactly where I was thinking, "I'm kinda thinking about FC right now," and then there you go-- Palahniuk is writing about Palahniuk.

Para quem gosta de Palahniuk é um livro divertido, que mantém o estilo cáustico e direto que o autor costuma usar. No entanto, não é tão ambicioso nem acutilante como as últimas obras do autor.
Para quem não conhece Palahniuk, recomendo começar pelo Fight Club, Haunted, Invisible Monsters ou Rant.

There's is nothing that compares to reading a Chuck Palahniuk novel. His perspective, his way of seeing the world, or carrying a concept through to its conclusion is unique and disturbing and worth reading.
