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

4.0

This book might not have been life-changing but it was utterly entertaining and yes, borderline amazing. There are a few gems in there and true to its title, there are even a handful of stories you'll wish you could unread. And you'll realize those are very good as you find yourself running through them in a state of morbid fascination. And there are others that will wring a cringe out of you at least. Most of the stories have a very simple premise but taken from the filter of Chuck Palahniuk's deviant mind. Sometimes, it may seem that the gross-out factor is gratuitous but he has a way of crafting this sort of twisted viewpoint that can be completely enthralling, then again, some of it might be too much for some. My favorites were Inclinations, Fetch, and Why Aadvark Never Landed On The Moon. Best word-play/concept: Eleanor. Highest 'I-wish-I-could-unread-this' factor: The Toad Prince.
