10.27.08 This one... well.... it's alright. reading his initial writing workshop essays on his website years ago has really pulled back the veil on his style for me. It's kind of like writing by numbers now. Although it's still enjoyable, it's kind of easy to dissect. On the other hand, he throws in a hodgepodge of interesting factoids and his differing points of view are alright (not as subtle or layered as Pelecanos but whatever) and he obviously had some fun coming up with Porn titles (although do they really do that stuff anymore? I thought titles today were a little more... blatant). Anyway, an ok read for sure, but the excitement and freshness I got out of Palahniuk's first gaggle of books is pretty much over and there was no building surprise of depth like his last book.
