Publisher Description

Buster “Rant” Casey just may be the most efficient serial killer of our time. A high school rebel, Rant Casey escapes from his small town home for the big city where he becomes the leader of an urban demolition derby called Party Crashing. Rant Casey will die a spectacular highway death, after which his friends gather the testimony needed to build an oral history of his short, violent life. With hilarity, horror, and blazing insight, Rant is a mind-bending vision of the future, as only Chuck Palahniuk could ever imagine.

"Of Chuck Palahniuk's more recent books, this would have to be my favorite. Although the last few novels have been a little lacking i did find rant to be on par with some of the older works. I really fond the oral biography style to be interesting and different. I quite enjoyed it. "

    " This book is actually very science fiction, which was a pleasant surprise for me. But of course it still comes with all the anti-establishment weirdness and comic genius I've come to expect from Palahniuk. Highly recommended :-) "

    " This is by far the best of his works for me. Schechner and linear theory..all in an oral biography. Very worth it for those interested in performance art studies. "

    " Rant is my absolute favorite book. It's written in an oral biography style which takes a little getting used to but it gives you the chance to see things from everyone's perspective not just the main characters. "

    " stopped reading it because i can't stand the way it's written. the whole book is like a menage of an E true hollywood story. the story is told via an interview style of ppl retelling/small town gossip of details regarding the protagonist. couldn't get used to this style so i stopped reading it.

    " Kind of hard to follow at first, but once you realize what's happening, it's pretty hard to put down. Like most of Palahniuk's books, don't pick it up if you're easily offended. There's incest (kind of), pregnant teenagers, raging erections and rabies, among other things... "
