Customer Review: Fight club is contemporary social criticism blended with dark humor and poignant insight. The nameless faceless narrator is unsatisfied in his seemingly perfect white collar job that would gain "alumni notes" approval. Unfortunately, he harbors resentment against the repressed desires in a stifling... more info
Customer Review: Snuff is Chuck without purpose. It stirs no thought-provoking ideas in its audience, its characters are bland and one dimensional, and it leaves you feeling wasteful and cheated. The only thing it has going for it is its level of entertainment and its occasional slivers of insight into the porn... more info
Customer Review: I read this after tearing through "Choke," another masterful novel. Admittedly, I'm not much of a novel reader. I gravitate toward non-fiction, but Palahniuk is a great writer that can really pull me in to his story. After choke, this story took a little longer to get into, but I enjoyed it very... more info
Customer Review: I began reading reviews for this book to decide if I wanted to read it. Sadly, in the first few lines of each review, I came across various spoilers that ruined parts of the book for me. I was pissed.

Customer Review: It's been a few years since I read this book. Written at the height of 'reality show fever' that seemed to grip the US. This book dealt with a bunch of people thrown together and locked up together for an extended period and then it dealt with the depths to which they'd all sink while in this... more info
Customer Review: I really wanted to like this book. I have liked several of Chuck's other offerings but this one was not up to par with what he is capable of. About 50 pages into this book, had I not been trapped on a plane, I would have rolled down my window and sent it on its merry way. Perhaps a passing squirrel... more info
Customer Review: Some of these stories lived up to "Stranger Than Fiction", but some fell a little flat for me. I thought all stories would have me googling "is that real??". Not a bad book and worth a read for the half of the stories that do you have you wondering if it could even possibly be true (that first one I... more info
Customer Review: I love Palahniuk, but even a fan I can't recommend this novel. Despite the fact that the "twist" in the final 1/3 is expertly setup (and totally unlike anything you have read before)the fact remains is that the novel is boring and never completely justifies the Si/Fi BS in the last few pages.
