Well, I've been whining about how [a:Chuck Palahniuk 2546 Chuck Palahniuk http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1264506988p2/2546.jpg] keeps saying the same thing in different ways, about how it got old after I read [b:Invisible Monsters 22290 Invisible Monsters Chuck Palahniuk http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1210989634s/22290.jpg 849507]. Pygmy is different, and this makes me happy. The thing being said is really not all that different at all, but the delivery sure is. Maybe growing up in a home were English isn't our mother tongue gives me a bit of an advantage here, but I flew through this book. And that's kinda funny, ‘cos it's the first Chuck Palahniuk book that I haven't raced to finish.
basic bitch alert
It was a pathetic attempt to get philosophy/deep thinking into solid form. Similar to others, I also did not like the way it was written.
I tried to like this book. I really did. And I usually have an aversion to not finishing books, but I had to put this one down after the first hundred pages.
I'm a big fan of Palahniuk's other work, and I know what he was trying to do with the language in this, but I just couldn't overcome it, and I knew that if I tried to finish it, I would just end up hating it.
