  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;From the master of literary mayhem and provocation, a full-frontal Triple X novel that goes where no American work of fiction has gone before&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cassie Wright, porn priestess, intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication. On camera. With six hundred men. &lt;i&gt;Snuff&lt;/i&gt; unfolds from the perspectives of Mr. 72, Mr. 137, and Mr. 600, who await their turn on camera in a&lt;i&gt; very crowded&lt;/i&gt; green room. This wild, lethally funny, and thoroughly researched novel brings the huge yet underacknowledged presence of pornography in contemporary life into the realm of literary fiction at last. Who else but Chuck Palahniuk would dare do such a thing? Who else could do it so well, so unflinchingly, and with such an incendiary (you might say) climax?&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was... fine. I don't know. After Rant, it feels like a kind of eh book between totally great ones, especially if his next one is a sci-fi monstrosity like Rant was, as has been implied. Or maybe said explicitly- I forget. <br/><br/>Anyway, all the 'shocking' Chuck P stuff happens, there are O...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21531267">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A guy here on Goodreads was nice enough to send me an advance copy of Chuck P's new book set for release May 2008. I'm really digging it so far. It's got all those great observations and incredibly quoteable lines that Chuck seems to have a knack for coming up with.<br/><br/>I'm not fixing that.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is certainly not for everyone (it takes place during the filming of a porno movie) but it was a fast, funny read.  The story is told from the point of views of 3 men waiting for their turn in the spotlight as well as the porn star's personal assistant.  The book is filled with interesting ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37930052">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[After his previous two novels, I remember going off on this whole rant (no pun intended) about how Chuck's like an Alkaline Trio record, or a David Lynch movie. You know you're gonna entertain it's existence, you know it will have a handful of one-liners, but you know its going to be jusssst like al...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26620125">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Disappointing effort from one of my former favorite authors. Chuck has really let himself fall into a rut, I think - his writing has become so formulaic that his stories, however interesting they seem on face value, have really started to lose their appeal for me.<br/><br/>Snuff is about a porn quee...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23688482">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Sometimes entertaining, often tiresome, this book furthers Palahniuk's descent into self-caricature.  What little plot there is has to be stretched paper-thin to fill the book's 200 pages, and most of the book consists of random porn-related facts and sexual euphemisms.  Where Chuck's previous books...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22884056">more...</a>]]></body>
