gdlutz 's review for:

Damned by Chuck Palahniuk
2.0

I really need to stop reading Palahniuk. I always expect so much more from him. But really, he is a juvenile in a big person's body. Damned is about a 13 year old girl who goes to hell. Palahniuk throws in some pop culture references, but for the most part the book is a 11 or 12 year old boy's giggly vision of hell (swamps of bile and abortions, desserts of dandruff, and if you read between the lines, you can hear little Chuck and his childhood pals tittering as the words are written).

The storyline is weak and the characters are bland. Damned is just not worth the time to read.
