Critic Score: B
Reader Score: C+
As wacky and trivia-stuffed as this novel is, I grew so bored with the plotless discourse. A book designed to be so outrageous can’t be tedious in its delivery, though the setup was promising.
Also, Palahniuk’s style is oftentimes overambitious, and some lines read as ludicrous, though to a successful comedic effect. Honestly, many moments reminded me of my own prose in a nauseating way.
I want to support books that push the envelope, but this was a letdown in the end because Palahniuk takes the concept nowhere.
