Started this one and couldn't get into it, which is a shame. His books used to really hook easily. I really liked CP's first few books, but I feel that he really lost it later on. Maybe will try again someday, but not after I finish reading all Douglas Coupland, William Gibson, and selected Philip K. Dick titles. ( )

It took me a while to get into the narrative style--the whole book is told in a series of first-person accounts and anecdotes--none of which are the main character, Rant. As always, a lot of fun, imaginative ideas from Chuck. The end was a bit of a stretch, though. ( )

WTF? I think this was my first Chuck book. I'm debating whether or not it will be my last. Interesting take on the serial killer genre for sure, this story was such a mishmash of things. For a while I felt like I was dumped right in the middle of an encyclopedia--yammering on and on about rabies, coin collecting, demolition derby (which are all key elements to the story but didn't need to be beat to death). Thank God I listened to this on CD as the varied voice artists really kept me engaged in the story. The writing was unbelievably sharp mechanics-wise. A+ on the wow factor with his very descriptive voice; but the story was too disjointed. I did like the differing viewpoints each of the characters brought to the table about the same person or incident. But, if you are wanting a smooth flowing story that makes sense all along the way, this may not be the book for you. Sometimes things don't make sense until many CD's later --which translates to many, many pages later. For those of you having trouble with this one, the unabridged CD may be just the thing to help you through. Kudos to all the readers--they did a super job.

Okay. I've decided I'm going to try Chuck again. Maybe this wasn't the right story for me at this time to appreciate his interesting style. I don't mind the odd and quirky--and I'm not squeamish--in fact, I love when a creative person challenges and pushes boundaries. This just rang the boring bell for me too early in and I couldn't get re-engaged. I'm giving him 2 1/2 stars for the way he painted his word pictures. Vivid, sharp and in your face. But, again, the story? I wish I would have contracted rabies before I listened to it--it would probably have been much more interesting had I been mad, drooling and a bit bitey. ( )

The fact that Chuck Palahniuk has quite a sick fantasy was revealed in 'Fight Club' erkennen. 'Rant' isn't any less disturbing and passages of it are breathtakingly well written, but the longer it goes on the more tension and suspense is lost. Still the different and differentiated points of view that the insinuatedly oral accounts the story is made up of make it a fascinating read. ( )
