Customer Review: Graphic and entertaining. In a good way, of course. I found the main character absolutely intriguing, and was delighted to read small excerpts from his past every once in a while. The rest of the characters all had a certain charm to them. The first-person narrative was great, and never... more info
Customer Review: What can I say more the typical "this is your life and it is ending one minute at a time"? I love this kind of narrative style, but what makes the book so special (apart from the mentioned style) is the philosophical message it carries. I was too young when I saw the movie, but when you get a... more info
Customer Review: I hate to be mean to authors because they're giving it their best (or at least I hope so), but this book made me feel like Palahniuk is just writing because it's his job. It wasn't a gripping tale like Fight Club or even Diary, and it was only 180 pages so it's only entertaining for a day. He throws... more info
Customer Review: I really enjoy this kind of narrative style, but there are just too many unlikely situations to make the protagonist(s) jump from one situation to another completely different, and this happens far too much.

The idea of authors gathering together to create their master works, and said master works would be included in the text in the form of poetry and short stories had me hooked. But as I read Haunted, I became very disappointed. The... more info
Customer Review: My brother turned me on the chuck books a few years ago. He sent me his entire collection at the time. It had included this book, but I had forgoten since he had insisted I return them all as soon as I was finished.( He lives in Virginia, I'm in Texas). Anyhow I ended up ordering Diary and reading... more info
Customer Review: Reading Chuck Palahniuk's collection of oddball 'strange-but-true' stories, articles written for various magazines about twisted people and their twisted little hobbies, is like watching "America's Most Terrifying Videos" or reading "Ripley's Believe It or Not." You feel guilty for enjoying the... more info
Customer Review: Rant by Chuck Palahniuk **** Written in a pretty unusual way for a novel Rant: The Oral Biography of Buster Casey is one of Palahniuks crowning achievements as an author. Entertaining, funny, insightful, and always just a little bit odd. The book chronicles the life of Buster 'Rant' Casey... more info
