Definitely not my favorite Palahniuk book, but better than I was expecting. It must be the shortest of his books (though none of them are very long) and I zipped through it very quickly. As usual, his writing style is engaging and easy to read. I really wish he'd stick to one POV character per book, though. His narration is so quirky and distinctive that while I can believe one person per book sounds like that (though really, it's stretching things considering how vastly different the people he writes about are), but having four POV characters, totally different people, all of whom sound exactly the same? Really doesn't work that well. 3rd person POV or a single narrator would have been much better. (This is not a new problem of his by any means, but I think I noticed it most here than any previous novel, though I'm not sure why.)[return][return]For the most part, if you like Palahniuk, you'll probably like this, and if you don't, it certainly won't change your mind. It's pretty much just more of the same. The quirky writing style, the extreme gross-outs, the way things are never what they seem. Different setting, but same type of story.[return][return]Also, wasn't he going to be writing more stories like Rant? I was looking forward to more cyberpunk from him.
