Chuck's got some imagination - [20 Jan 2009]
I absolutely could not put down this book and finished it in twelve hours. It was a very easy read because the book is written in the format of oral interviews and short antecdotes. Chuck is a master of shock- and- awe writing. The writer develops the...

Wild ride... - [13 Jan 2009]
This book is a real treat. Palahniuk is a phenomenal talent. What I like most about his writing is that where other authors would pull back from a subject, he goes all the way and then some. I loved Fight Club and my brother lent me Rant, which I enjoyed...

A wild ride of a read - [12 Jan 2009]
What a fascinating read by a ridiculously talented author. Other than being a fan of the film version of his novel "Fight Club", I didn't know a whole lot about him. Now I know that he is a writer to greatly admire and envy. It took me a few pages to ...

Hipster Grossout - [03 Jan 2009]
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...

All over the place - [15 Dec 2008]
I am a big fan of Chuck Palahniuk. I've read most of his books and found this one to be an excruciating read. The book is written in the view of 8 (i think, seems like 800) different characters. Each paragraph is a different character. It was extremely...

Rant - [27 Nov 2008]
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...

Unique Story You Won't Forget - [18 Nov 2008]
Chuck Palahniuk is one of my favorite contemporary writers. In my opinion, I think he is destined to become known for many classics, including my two favorites: Survivor: A Novel and Fight Club: A Novel . "Rant" is a typical Palahniuk novel, and by typical...

Unexpected Surprise - [04 Oct 2008]
This has been a Palahniuk book I've avoided for quite some time. I was very skeptical of the oral biography format Palahniuk chose to use and that this was the first of a sci-fi series Palahniuk was planning. Sci-fi and Palahniuk seem like they'd go together...

Be prepared to stop and backtrack - [02 Oct 2008]
If you are considering this book I feel like I can make a couple of assumptions about you. First, (and I do hope that this is true) you have probably read one of the authors other books and understand that the story is not told in a linear fashion. You...

One of his best - [22 Sep 2008]
Rant is very impressive. Palahniuk has already establuished himself as one of the greatest authors of our time, and now it feels as though he is showing off. This book is by far one of his best works. It is unpredictable, has amazing ideas and themes,...
