Reviews"Reading a Palahniuk novel is like getting zipped inside a boxer's heavy bag while the author goes to work on you, pounding you until there is nothing left but a big bag of bones and blood and pain." -The Miami Herald "To Palahniuk's credit, there is something here to appall almost every sensibility. The author has a singular knack for coming up with inventive new ways to shock and degrade." -The New York Post "Frequently entertaining [and] often appalling. . . .

The author has a singular knack for coming up with inventive new ways to shock and degrade." -New York Post "Funny, always on the edge of reality and bloodied by the profound horror of narcissism." -Playboy "Place this bet in your time capsule: Chuck Palahniuk's novels will be required reading in American literature classes 100 years from now." -The Fort Myers News-Press "Palahniuk is as unique and colorful as ever." -The Onion "Searing and honest. ...His nasty detail and unimaginably horrible scenarios will give some people nightmares.
