Weird. So bizarre. But in a can't-and-won't-stop-reading-it kind of way. Palahniuk lays out all the pieces before you between page 1 and 250. It's only in the last 10 that he grants you the relief of pulling them all together to see the whole picture. Complete fever dream of a novel but different, which is what so many authors strive for and never achieve.
Graphic: Suicide attempt
Moderate: Fire/Fire injury
Minor: Body horror
