Well, here's my first non-whole-number star rating! It feels even more nonsensical than Fight Club 2 (I seriously have little to no idea what happens in this book) but the artwork is pretty amazing.
Palahniuk writes more about our Narrator—now going by Balzathar—and Marla—now pregnant with her second child, but not Bal's—and Tyler—surprise he's the father! There's some interesting backstory into Marla's childhood and the loss of her parents but there's also a magical picture frame that leads to paradise (where Napoleon and Hitler are? ) and a deadly sexually-transmitted virus the remnants of Project Mayhem are trying to pass along to everyone . And the ending hints that there may be a Fight Club 4 in the future (but I'm pretty sure I'm not ever going to read it)
I remember being a fan of Palahniuk in my 20s—I own a lot of his novels and read most of them before Storygraph or Goodreads... Maybe I've grown as a person (or maybe Chuck's stagnated as a writer) but I am Jack's raging sense of wondering why I didn't just #DumpThatBook!
