A review by snchard
Adjustment Day by Chuck Palahniuk

4.0

I'm not sure why new Palahniuk books always make their way to the top of my reading list, but they do. It's some kind of morbid fascination, I suppose. I'm not sure I've ever really enjoyed reading his work. But, the way he describes these plausible not-too-distant futures makes me feel like maybe he knows something the rest of us don't. Adjustment Day felt more like his earlier works, and of course, will bring in endless comparisons to Fight Club. Definitely not for the squeamish, or anyone looking for a book that has any kind of optimism or feel-good elements. Probably best for those who are so jaded by current events that hopeless political commentary is the only palatable literature left. Also good for those who just want to watch the world burn, I guess.
