beelzebubskis 's review for:

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk

3.0

---

I first tried reading Haunted but then put it down. Which I hate doing, so I pushed through it. I’m not disappointed by the book, just some of the chapters left me confused no matter how many times I reread paragraphs to try and figure it out. There were so many characters with nicknames which was also confusing trying to remember who was who and what their deal was. I highlight lines in books, and I did agree with some of the philosophical things written within the weird, and disgusting other things. A lot of the stories were completely out of the box, pure chaos and that’s what kept me reading no matter what. I wanted to know the next messed up story I was going to read. Honestly I definitely will not forget some of the stories I read in this book because they will “haunt” me forever. I have tried reading Palahniuk in the past, and couldn’t push through (but I was also a lot younger) and I’d say give this book a chance but also be prepared for the lot of characters, the disturbing stories, and just kind of saying “wtf?” The whole time. I don’t regret reading it, it’ll stick with me forever. Would I read it again? Definitely not.
