Critic Reviews

“Maybe our generation has found its Don DeLillo”

A comedy of horrors, a pantomimic romp through America's obsession with secrets and confessions Arena
Bret Easton Ellis
Immensely entertaining...an extremly funny account of an outsider stuck inside America Independent on Sunday
Survivor comes bowling forth out of the same dark corner of the mind as Fight Club... Like its predecessor, it is a terminal novel, a novel that applies the firing-squad principle to extort tortured eloquence from its doomed narrator Esquire
Brilliant satire and savagely funny, Survivor offers much to admire. Palahniuk displays a swiftian gift for satire, as well as a knack for crafting mesmerizing sentences that loom with stark, prickly prose and repetitive rhythms San Francisco Chronicle
