Review:
"Outrageous, darkly comic fun of the sort you'd expect from Palahniuk."
--Kirkus Reviews (*starred*)
"Hilarious satire."
--Publishers Weekly
" A story so eccentric and complex that you begin to understand why Palahniuk's literature is a breed all its own." -- "USA Today
"" Mr. Palahniuk further refines his ability to create parables that are as substantial as they are off-the-wall." -- "The New York Times
"" That most rambunctious of American novelists, Chuck Palahniuk, is at it again. . . . There's so much comic energy, so much manic imagination, so much satirical fire on display." -- "Newsday"
" Dark riffing on modernity is the reason people read Palahniuk. His books are not so much novels as jagged fables, cautionary tales about the creeping peril represented by almost everything." -- "Time
"" Genius-on-sixteen-different-levels . . . constantly surprising, disturbingly funny . . . Genuinely subversive." -- "BookForum
"" Among sick puppies, Palahniuk is the top dog. . . . A unique talent." -- "People
"" More twisted than a sack of pretzels and edgier than an octagon, Chuck Palahniuk has pumped out another memorable read. . . This is his best yet." -- "Playboy
"" Few writers this side of Kurt Vonnegut can summon up the intensity and precision to control such a blackly humorous situation. . . . Palahniuk is proving to be an accessible and ambitious writer of fables from the culture wars." -- "St. Petersburg Times
"" Palahniuk conjures grief, confusion, mystery and fear from the unlikeliest sources . . . [and] teases amusement form the darkest corners of our culture." -- "The Sunday Oregonian
"" By turns disturbing, creepy, sweet, sad, horrible and exquisite. . . . A harrowing and hilarious glimpse into the future of civilization." -- "Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"" [Palahniuk] knows how to spin whacked-out stories particular to our times. . . . Employs a playfully perverse wit and a good eye for repellent details." -- "The Seattle Times
"" Twisted and nihilistic . . . The novel packs a dark comic wallop." -- "Daily News
"" A darkly twisted yarn. . . Palahniuk has succeeded in crafting a story that is taut and compelling, insightful and scathing, deeply disturbing and deeply disturbed." -- "CNN.com
"" Deliriously rich in ideas and entertaining in its stream-of-consciousness riffing." -- "Book
"" Outrageous, darkly comic fun." -- "Kirkus Reviews "(starred)
" This is vintage Palahniuk: weird, creepy, twisted, upsetting, and ultimately a great read." -- "Library Journal
