Damned
by Chuck Palahniuk
As an avid Palahniuk fan, I was ecstatic to acquire this book at his latest signing in Portland.
Unfortunately, the book felt too much as if it was pandering to a very dumb audience. The storyline was scattered and felt like it kept losing itself. It was, and this is hard for me to say about one of my favorite authors, truly boring. Not even at its most gruesome, was it engaging. He wrote pure bile and vulgarity with no tie-in's or big message or anything twisty-turny as is his trademark.
Every author has to have their flops, I suppose, and this is definitely his.
