NOT WORTH CONSUMING
Didn’t like this one too much. The short stories were cool, and I think I would have enjoyed them more as a stand-alone collection. I didn’t really get much of the back story of all the characters, and the main story itself really didn’t do much for me. I kept reading and reading hoping for the usual “Chuck Palahniuk Mindfuck” at the end (you know, the usual ended that turns out that the story you were reading the whole time really wasn’t the main story at all thing.)
Anyway, this book seemed more like a “shock value” type thing. Or one of those “final books of a contract i wanna get out of” type thing.

I completely agree about waiting for the “mindfuck,” I liked some of the short stories, but I really hoped he was going somewhere with it. Overall I just found it disturbing.
