Rant by Chuck Palahniuk
2.0

This was the first Palahniuk book I read and it wasn't what I was expecting at all. I picked it up, because someone likened it to World War Z by Max Brooks. Instead I got a mostly compelling read about a mysterious weirdo, but then the time travel kicked in turning this book into something completely different than what it started out as. Talk of the weirdo (Rant) diminished as the theories/philosophizing about time travel and religion increased. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with time travel. It's just that this book left me wanting more and not in a good way. More in a WTF just happened? Did I really just spend hours of my life reading this? way. Kind of like I felt when the TV show, Lost, ended. I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book, but the final 1/3 left much to be desired.
