Doomed

While it did take me a while to get into this book, and (as sad as I am to say it) I do feel that Palahniuk is relying on his same old tropes, I did think that was interesting and well done. A unique continuity of Damned, for sure. Still not sure how I feel about it's epistolary style, though.

I read about half of this book before giving up. Too gross, too stupid, too unreadable. Sad, too, because Chuck Palahniuk is one of my favorite authors. I'm very disappointed in this “effort.”

The end picked up some steam, but for most of this novel it just dragged on and on, seemingly disjointed. At some points I think our dear Chuck forgot what book he was writing, or at least what direction he wanted to go.
