You know, I’ve never read this author — partly because I’m a little afraid to. And your description of this book doesn’t make me want to read it. But perhaps I’ll try one of his other books as he does seem to have an original voice.

This one of the few books I’ve read that has literally made me want to throw up. I haven’t read too many of his books, but I liked “Diary” better.

This book was very disturbing and was my first experience with this author. I’m not sure if I will read another of his books though.

I read Chuck’s work in college (like every other college kid I saw) and I stopped reading his work when Diary came out. Invisible Monsters was my favorite of his. I felt like he lost his steam. Judging by your review, he clearly has.

I still haven’t given this one a shot because of all of the mediocre reviews I’ve seen of it.

I’m so sad that you didn’t love this book. I adore Chuck Palahniuk, and this one is actually up next on my to read list. I actually got to see him read from it, which was an amazing experience. I’m sad to know that I might be disappointed in the overall product.

I share your feelings on this book. I remember being really pumped about this when it came out since I was a fan of his earlier works, but I think this was kind of the beginning of his downfall. I have hated every thing I have read by him since. You can’t really call him a ‘one trick pony’ but that seems to sadly be his new way of writing ‘Shock value’ + ‘Surprise ending’ + ‘A lot of witty one liners’ = novel.

‘Guts’ made me want to puke though.
