kassiejo 's review for:

Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk
1.0

It could have been so decent! Well, perhaps not decent. Tolerable?

The sex industry seems to be right on the cusp of becoming a field of study (I'm thinking of a couple documentaries on Netflix and a few first person narratives). Unfortunately, Snuff reads like Palahniuk was trying to see if he could get something out there before everyone else. The characters are flat, the premise is boring, and there's really none of the promised climax (sorry).

Snuff was not the "wild, lethally funny, and thoroughly researched novel" I was promised. It was basically the equivalent of seeing Ron Jeremy in his pajamas buying Rogaine and anti-chaffing cream at Walmart at 3am: disappointing, a little unnerving, and really just a little disgusting.
