Make Something Up: Stories You Can't Unread by Chuck Palahniuk

1.0

It really pains me to give this book such a low rating. I'm a HUGE Palahniuk fan and I've loved every other book by him that I've read. I was expecting to love this as well, I really thought that short stories written by Palahniuk would pack quite a punch. But I was terribly wrong and I wish I could unread these stories and scrub them from my brain. Each and every story literally left me sitting there with a confused/pained expression on my face and thinking what in the actual fuck did I just read? I kept pushing through thinking that there must be at least one decent story out of the bunch but once again I was terribly wrong. I always expect weirdness from Palahniuk but this collection was so far beyond weird that it actually made my brain hurt. These stories were really fucking awful and I highly suggest avoiding this book at all costs, no matter how big of a Palahniuk fan you are.
