A very well written story about an unlikable prick, the book tells you that at the start, you already know what you're getting yourself into, you ARE indeed warned before this fuck-fest unfolds. Vile things written here, but that's not surprising for Chuck, I just wonder from what part of his brain do these sentences come. Story is split in two, but mostly straightforward, an easy read I would say. The plot twists are there and it does manage to hold your attention, some really good quotes. As the cover says, this is somewhat the Fight Club for sex addicts, in a way, not that you should expect Fight Club from this book but It is about troubled people navigating the contemporary world, in their own fucked up ways.
Give this a try if you're a fan of Palahniuk, its a tight story (wink-wink).
