I just did not like reading this. I had heard this would be a good messed-up book, but it focused more on grossness.
The main plot line which all the short stories are told through was interesting at first, but I stopped caring what happened to these characters as time went on. Most of the short stories were disappointing as well. I did like a few: Slumming, Swan Song, and Dog Years. The rest of the stories I just sat through waiting for the next good one.
What was good about this book was not enough to carry me through the rest of it. This is one I wish I didn't finish.

Answered a promptWhat is the scariest horror book you have ever read?
Rreat concept, great execution. Best short stories are Hot Potting, Guts and Exodus. Main plot is good too, interesting and gruesome but foes drag on and then ends abruptly and unfulfilling but makes sense thematically. Some short stories are a bit abstract for my taste but really showcases the full extent of Palahniuk's creativity. Awesome awesome book, second of his read after Fight Club and it holds up.
