I almost didn’t finish this. I don’t know if I’m glad I did or not. I don’t think I fully ~get~ it (even with the end note). Parts of it were enjoyable. Urethra had me actually laugh. And parts of it made me feel something for the characters. I just don’t feel like I actually got anything out of it.

Anyone familiar with his work (Fight Club, Snuff, Choke) knows to expect boundary pushing, often confronting material. Whether you admire his satire or find his work gleefully juvenile will likely determine how you feel about his latest novel, Not Forever, But For Now.
