is 98% done
You have no idea how relieved I was when I found that this book ended at 98%, thanks to the preview of "Doomed." I'm never reading another book by Palahniuk again.

I've started skimming and skipping over chunks of the stupid main framework, just to get to the individual stories, which are actually good.

Halfway trough this thing and I remember why I only average 1.33 Palahniuk books every six years or so. Some great ideas and gems wrapped up in a skewed reality with a lyrical tempo that almost screams "I'm smarter than you, dammit!"

The story 'Swan Song.' Holy crap. Great story. Darker than dark, though. Wesley Snipes at Midnight dark. Wow.

Narration, poem about character, story by character. Repeat for next character. Interesting framework, but the narration portions are hyper-realistic, and the poems are bleh. The stories are interesting.

The style of this book didn't take long to grate on my nerves. The author is so enamored with his cutesy names for everyone and he repeats them ad nauseum.

I'm far from being a "big fan" of Palahniuk. I've read Choke, which I enjoyed. But I found Fight Club to be far too Postmodern and 'out there' for me. I'm reading "Haunted" because I like the premise, not the author.
