This book was a major flop. Brimming over with predatory sexual aggression, incest, and a warped sense of “coming of age”. This book makes you feel like you need to take a shower after each minimal chapter. It reads well, as well as Palahniuk’s books do, but the story itself is hard to stomach. Palahniuk’s dark (and usually brilliant) mind takes you to places that makes you wonder who allowed this child smut to be published. A disturbing read from the beginning, I finished on principle not pleasure. Don’t bother reading it, not now or ever!
