Summary: More style than substance
Review: This was my first Chuck Palahniuk book and will probably be my last. His messages are very blunt because he is using un-likable and under-developed characters venting their opinions to tell the reader what the book is about. The story line is too contrived to be believable. It is very repetitive and you get the impression he is struggling to get a novel out of such thin material and is just trying to fill it out as much as possible. I also find all the mantra such as `the more you kill the more things stay the same' rather annoying. It all seems to be style over substance - I can appreciate that some people would like his style but it just doesn't seem to go past that, and I can't help but feel that the style is down to what Palahniuk lacks as a writer than anything else.
