Critics Review
The boldest book in a long while…ace
The boldest book in a long while…ace – Lauren Laverne * Grazia *A hilarious novel…as ever, Palahniuk is interested in pushing the limits. He leaps over the line of good taste - and lands squarely on his feet * Booklist *Brilliant… It has moments of poetry * Daily Telegraph *Brilliantly conceived, linguistically inventive and extremely rude – Anne McElvoy * New Statesman, Books of 2009 *The novel abandons minimalism for a Clockwork Orange-style spin through a semi-invented language. Consequently, it’s Palahniuk’s most challenging book yet – Colin Waters * The Sunday Herald *
