Snuff

Re: The Annabel Chong Story

This review is from: Snuff (Trade Paperback)

2 months ago

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)!

Makes you Laugh and Cringe (at the same time)

This review is from: Snuff (Trade Paperback)

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.

Interested in more Palahniuk

13 months ago

This was my first Chuck Palahniuk book. Although at some times deeply disturbing this was a interesting story with a great ending. After reading such great reviews about Chuck I did expect a little more but it was good enough to keep my interest and want to try another one of his books.

bizarre

I found this book by far the most predictable of the chuck books, still a great read with a truly bizarre last few pages no one will predict. As for the whole book, a lot of the mini twists were all too familiar.

Really Funny, But A Bit Too Much Porn

14 months ago

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. =]
