readingchia 's review for:

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk

3.0

---

This one didn't really do it for me, I have to say. There were a few stories that had me reading with my hand over my mouth in horror/disgust, which I kind of expect from Palahniuk. However, he made it very clear from the beginning who was really responsible for the characters' situation, and so the ending didn't come as much of a twist or surprise to me. It just felt like an exercise in how f*cked up people can be to themselves and each other, without anything to redeem them. Maybe that was the point, but it just fell a little flat for me, and didn't leave my head whirling like some of his other novels have. It just didn't have the same punch behind it.
