I somewhat appreciate the inspiration for this book. The twists are predicatable especially if you know what fight club is.  But theres bits and pieces of incest and pedophilia in there.   Probably beastiality too.   I am also afraid of being old and did inspire me a little bit. But i cant reccomend it like r-pe play isnt good even if you are doing bc of ur trauma....its not healthy

Even though this was written 20+ years ago, it feels like it was written today. His quick wit and dark themes make this one you can’t put down as you try and see what happens to the main character and his relationships based on the WILD choices he makes to cope with his sex addiction & dying mother.

Charles has returned to share with us his unrivaled sense of anarchic terrorism. He says some awful things in this book, but he also says some beautiful things. I can’t give him the benefit of the doubt, but I can appreciate the project as a whole being powerful nonetheless.
