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.

dark

i didn't understand a lot of it, it was particularly gross and shocking, and then the last couple of chapters had me shedding actual tears. i have no idea how to rate or review this book. i will just say that, as per the author's note,

this really is a book about pain and addiction and i think the ending articulates it really well, even if i was confused by the rest of the novel.

snacklord's review against another edition

plot was intriguing, but the rampant incest+pedophilia was unreadable. I love most palahniuk books and I understand he likes the risque topics, but I couldn't stomach this one

Whoever wrote the blurb to this could be charged with false advertising. Theyd be aquitted I'm court, but only on a technicality. 

Sure, it is a story about a family of assasins and their whacky adventures. If by whacky adventures you mean r*ping - oh sorry "having a go on" - and murdering approximately half the people they meet. This "HILARIOUS horror satire", as per blurb, manages to funny between 1 and 3 times. One could argue that there's genuine social commentary to be had but that's true of anything if you try hard enough. 

Perhaps if they cut the sexual assault/abuse in half it would average every other page, I wish i was exaggerating.  

If it wasnt so preoccupied with winning edge lord of the year it might have been a good and interesting story. As it is, it's not particularly good or interesting.

Check content warnings before picking this up, it covers very uncomfortable and intense topics I don't want to read. Would not have used an audio credit if I had known.
