Snuff

by Chuck Palahniuk
Narrated by: Todd Mclaren

Tantor Media Inc | June 3, 2008 | Audio Book (CD)

Cassie Wright, porn priestess, intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication. On camera. With six hundred men. Snuff unfolds from the perspectives of Mr. 72, Mr. 137, and Mr. 600, who await their turn on camera in a very crowded green room. This wild, lethally funny, and thoroughly researched novel brings the huge yet underacknowledged presence of pornography in contemporary life into the realm of literary fiction at last. Who else but Chuck Palahniuk would dare do such a thing? Who else could do it so well, so unflinchingly, and with such an incendiary (you might say) climax?

    A porn star attempts to break a world record by fornicating with 600 men in a porn film. Told largely from the perspective of three participants, all whom have a relation with the porn star, Chuck Palahniuk weaves a twisted story of satire, porn and crime, sprinkling it with pop culture tidbits. Caution, language and content is definitely not for all. Seriously, I didn't know there were so many ways to describe a wanker (i.e. sock-soaker, bone-beater, pud-pullers, ham-whammers, et cetera)!

    This book is funny but it changes perspectives a lot and is hard to read sometimes. Closer to the end I found myself re-reading because it got confusing. However, I do plan to read more of Chuck Palahniuk's novels. He has some interesting ideas.

    I thought the book was pretty good.
    Quite funny, but a little too confusing at times.
    The crazy twist in the end really caught me by surprise.
    Not one of his best novels, but deffiently one to check out.
