"Are you there, Satan? It's me, Madison, " declares the whip-tongued thirteen-year-old narrator of Damned, Chuck Palahniuk's subversive new work of fiction. The daughter of a narcissistic film star and a billionaire, Madison is abandoned at her Swiss boarding school over Christmas, while her parents are off touting their new projects and adopting more orphans. She dies over the holiday of a marijuana overdose--and the next thing she knows, she's in Hell. Madison shares her cell with a motley crew of young sinners that is almost too good to be true: a cheerleader, a jock, a nerd, and a punk rocker, united by fate to form the six-feet-under version of everyone's favorite detention movie. Madison and her pals trek across the Dandruff Desert and climb the treacherous Mountain of Toenail Clippings to confront Satan in his citadel. All the popcorn balls and wax lips that serve as the currency of Hell won't buy them off.--Résumé de l'éditeur.

I love this. The first part of the book was quite annoying, I didn't really feel for the main character while she was rambling on. But she kinda grew on me and the book got better and better. Really thought-provoking and if whatever is in this is true, I'm damned for eternity on so many levels....
This definitely isn't as good as Palahniuk's earlier books, but all-in-all, not bad.
Quick synopsis: A 13 year old girl dies and is accidentally sent to hell instead of heaven. While there she embraces her new home for eternity, builds an army of followers, and sets out to overthrow satan.
The book was okay, but not nearly as entertaining as Chuck Palahniuk's other books.
