Funny at times but often repetitive. Overall just wasn’t a favorite for me.

Nedočetla jsem to. To se mi nestalo ani nepamatuju.

Premisa zněla skvěle. Program pro přeživší byl výborný a i Klub rváčů mě bavil. Obecně mám Palahniuka ráda. Ale tohle mě úplně neuvěřitelně nebavilo.

Hlavní hrdina mi byl úplně fuk, vůbec mě nezajímalo co se bude dít. Premisa s předstíráním dušení se v restauracích a oblbováním lidí mě fakt nadchla, ale vlastně se tohle téma v knize vyskytovalo spíš okrajově.

Asi si pustím film, protože hoďku a půl tomu jsem ochotná dát, a trochu doufám, že v kratším rozsahu to bude stravitelnější… ale teda knížku nesu do Knihobota.

Why do authors feel like endings need to be hopeful?

Really dark and twisted, but entertaining. Not sure if this should count as a guilty pleasure or not, but I'd like to read more.

I can't believe I didn't see the twist with Paige not being a doctor. I'd also like to figure out what the fuck was with the rocks and the castle being built at the end.

definitely a book where I likely didn't get the metaphors behind it all, but enjoyed reading surface level regardless.
