Fizzled ending certainly put a damper on this original story. Always the cynic, Palahniuk tells a story that questions society (again), but his lack of a quality ending seems to put his insight to waste.

A little far-fetched, but an enjoyable ride. I would consider this similar to a “popcorn movie”... a “popcorn book”, if there were such a term.

We have seen all of these types of characters before in Crighton books, but in a good way. It becomes familiar like a reunion instead of being too predictable

Plot is weak. The characters are one dimensional.

A lot less comic book-y than expected, although there are heroes as the main characters. There are many layers to this tale and I found it interesting to peel back each one only to find another layer. Highly recommended.

I have read the first of the 3 sections of this book. However, I have decided that I will refrain from reading this until AFTER the movie comes out. I need to see this movie without any more spoilers. I plan on returning to this book the day after seeing the movie.
