Survivor: A Novel Audiobook

" This book is very interesting. The subject matter is incredible and way too convoluted for me to even try to summarize here. I say just read it and you'll understand! "

" I was not as enthused with this one as I was with others, but it was still an engaging Chuck Palahniuk novel, gore and shock value and psychological twists included. "

" "read" through audiobook in my car. It was a very unique story, I would expect nothing less from Chuck Palahniuk. "

" Another great Chuck P. book. If you watched Fight Club instead of reading it, his stories are almost always written in the style of Ed Norton's monologue throughout. Odd story, amazingly delivered. "

" With a variation on structure that breaks up the tedium of his short, sometimes bland writing, Chuck gives us one his most potent novels, a scathing critique of fame and celebrity. "

" I think I'd call this one my personal favorite of the Chuck Palahnuik books I've read. "

" perhaps palahniuk at his satirical/dark/nihilistic best, and the peak of his powers before his obsession with detail shtick became cumbersome. "

" one of the best books i have read "

" Kept me mildly entertained but made me wish a Creedish death upon my soul. "

" One of the dumbest books I've ever read...luckily it was only the second by Palahniuk that I chose (first being Fight Club which has far less of an impact than the film). At least I found out early and didn't waste my time with his other books.... "

" Where is the movie to this chuck??? "

" Easy fast read. Was reluctant to read but was pleasantly surprised. "

" This book is so funny and quite excellent! This book sealed Chuck Palahniuk as a favorite author!! Great book highly reccomend to anyone that doesnt get offended easily! Dark humour! "

" It is The Giver...for grown ups. "

" Excellent. I read this as an audiobook and it just suits that format so perfectly, as it's supposedly the black box recording from a crashed airplane of the hijacker recounting the story of what led him to that point. Bleak but very funny. "

" Did not finish. Some people might see value in books as dark as old Chuck's. I, at this time, do not. Some might say he is probing the depths of evil, I think he is just selling cheap thrills. "

" This novel really pales in comparison to Palahniuk's far superior Fight Club. It delves into the surreal atmosphere and lifestyle of the celebrity (and the random-drawing of who becomes one and who doesn't). Coupled weirdly with the tale of a plane crash. "

" An interesting and thought provoking book. "

" This book gives me chills. Chuck always manages to make you look at your life and either gives you comfort, or doesn't let you take anything for granted. "

" This book sent me into existential meltdown. Read at your own peril. "

" I do love a good gimmick and this book does have one of those. It moves like greased lightening, too. I hardly noticed I was reading there for a little while. Actually, at one or two points, I thought I was reading Fight Club but then I checked the title page and everything was all right again. "

" This was my first intro to his work in print. I found it an easy, entertaining read full of slightly exaggerated commentaries on today's moral compass. Worth a read. "

" Very odd, but brilliant and so easy to read. I'll definitely be reading more of Chuck's books. "

" what do you do when you are the only one who survives a cult? Oh and this book works backwards. "

" I thought this was pretty good. Easy, quick read. Interesting perspective on religion, society, identity... All of the home ec tips from Tender Branson, put the icing on the character development cake. Was a little sad when it ended. That's always signifies a good read. "

" This is probably my favorite palahniuk novel next to Rant. Lately he's been pretty so so with what he has been putting out, but his first few were pretty good. "

" one of the most entertaining books from him. i definitely can see this turned into big screen. it's very palahniuk. very pop. "

" hmm. how long can a trend last? "

" I enjoyed how the book explores religion, cults, and miracles in an urban setting, but what really pulled me in is the narrative. Undoubtedly the best Chuck Palahniuk I have read. "

" Started off well, but as soon as all the quasi-celebrity nonsense started, the book felt so contrived it was almost unreadable. "

" This is my other favorite from Chuck. Rant is my favorite book from him, but this was a close second. It starts off slow, but crashes and burns near the end. "

" Nice book , lazy writing chuck! "

" Survivor is a wickedly strange book. If your looking for something to ponder about, Palahniuk's voice captures the dark of humanity. You could really hear the narrator of Fight Club coming through on some pages. "

" This was my first ever Palahniuk and it was great. It had some gross stuff but not too much as I've been warned most of his books do. It was a clever story with a great ending. "

" made me laugh till the end of the page. "
