Make Something Up: Stories You Can't Unread by Chuck Palahniuk
1.0
sorry. i hated this book. a few good stories here and there. never the whole story is good tho. only parts of it. i was almost ALWAYS left confused and like ??? it might just be that im the dumbest person on earth or this book was written without anyone ever looking over it again. the stories dont make sense. u start out the story one way and then a completely seperate story starts out inside it with no relation except theyre supposed to have some. i was so confused. the. whole. time. i dont think ive ever written so many questions marks in a book (yes i annotated this one. bad choice though. )
seriously. i dont wanna be negative. the second to last story was alright, it was interesting and probably my favorite one. sadly i cannot ignore that the beginning of it made no sense and then suddenly ur in the middle of the story with no fucking logic going on
example (SPOILERS FROM HERE)
that last story i liked
1. 13 yo girl gets pregnant
2. parents are pro life and rich so they say if u have it and give it up for adoption, well buy u a porsche
3. she learns nothing so she gets pregnant 4 more tomes to get 5 porsches. (idk man??)
4. suddenly?? different character introduced. no relation to the first one?? at least not really mentioned except he said he heard about her story or smt
5. he gets 5 hamster and kills them all. for a reason i do not know
6. he asks his parents to buy him an elle magazine,,,,??
7. he kleans out vaseline containers?? multiple,?? IDK WHY
8. SUDDENLY A STORY ARC WHERE HE PRETENDS TO BE GAY TO WIN 20.000 (somehow) BY GOING TO A CONVERSION CAMP???
WHAY. DID. THAT. HAVE. TO. DO. WITH. THE. FIRST. PARTS.
apparently this is all tied to the first girl who got pregnant?? HOW? i dont kNOW
also this is just ONE story that went like this. 99% of the others confused me too. i. idk man. i dont believe im THAT stupid that i couldnt understand 99% of the stories in this book. i feel like parts of the pages of the book were like. ripped out. because everything is so inconsistent and makes no sense i feel like im missing something. seriously. hated reading this
ALSO if anyone is seeing this review and loved and understood this book. tell me. comment under this. PLEASE
