Narration As Books Survivor

From the author of the underground sensation Fight Club comes this wickedly incisive second novel, a mesmerizing, unnerving, and hilarious vision of cult and post-cult life. Tender Branson—last surviving member of the so-called Creedish Death Cult—is dictating his life story into the flight recorder of Flight 2039, cruising on autopilot at 39,000 feet somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. He is all alone in the airplane, which will crash shortly into the vast Australian outback. Before it does, he will unfold the tale of his journey from an obedient Creedish child and humble domestic servant to an ultra-buffed, steroid- and collagen-packed media messiah, author of a best-selling autobiography, Saved from Salvation, and the even better selling Book of Very Common Prayer (The Prayer to Delay Orgasm, The Prayer to Prevent Hair Loss, The Prayer to Silence Car Alarms). He'll reveal the truth of his tortured romance with the elusive and prescient Fertility Hollis, share his insight that "the only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage," and deny responsibility for the Tender Branson Sensitive Materials Sanitary Landfill, a 20,000-acre repository for the nation's outdated pornography. Among other matters both bizarre and trenchant. Not since Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night and Jerzy Kosinski's Being There has there been as dark and telling a satire on the wages of fame and the bedrock lunacy of the modern world. Unpredictable, compelling, and unforgettable, Survivor is Chuck Palahniuk at his deadpan peak; and it cements his place as one of the most original writers in fiction today.

Weigh Up About Books Survivor

Im a big fan of Palahniuks school of style, minimalism and trangressive prose. Survivor had it. Thats all it had. Don't get me wrong, there was subtle humor and moment-after-moment of crotch bending cringe. But was it enough?I don't want to spend this entire review dwelling on the topics he chooses to write about, but nothing has been up to par since his massive debut. Invisible Monsters, it was barely okay. Survivor, hardly worth the read if not for a love of his style. Choke, probably the most

Palahnuik has a formula to his story-writing, and it's becoming more and more clear that every work becomes less and less impressive upon further examination. Every main character seems plagued by the same sense of nihilism and self-defeat like his Fight club protagonist, as well as the same delivery of speech, and thought patterns. So. After reading about 3 books in a row with this consistent formula, I was about ready to abandon my faith in him.But. Then I read this book, and what a fresh

Reading Palahniuk in public and adding to the demographic statistics is just so satisfying.

A bizarre social commentary. The story seems to be set in an alternate reality more than the near future. I have to get my calculator out to figure what page I'm on. The story starts on page 289 and begins counting down until it ends on page one.Actually, screw it. I'll just count down to page one on my Goodreads progress/status update. I've never done this before. I've never read a book quite like this, so let's see what happens.This book is outrageous! Favorite Passages:Please have a safe and

I'd give this a 2.5* rating because the whole time I was reading it the one thing that kept popping into my mind in order to describe this was weird. It's a really weird, dark and somewhat depressing book (not quite what I expected). I did enjoy the writing, it was written much like a stream of consciousness and that was interesting to see, but there were times that phrases were repeated and I wasn't really interested in reading the same thing 3 times or more in one novel. This is the story

Since I didn't know wht to expect, that's exactly what I got. A bizarrely told tale where nothing was quite as it seemed, filled with the unexpected twists Palahniuk is known to deliver. So, it was exactly what I expected. One of his better books, in my opinion.

3.75 I want to think the world is getting better and better. But really I know its not. You want there to be some improvement in people, but there wont be. It was good but not as good.Chuck Palahniuk does have a pattern all his books (the ones Ive read at least) fall into, and you can almost imagine its the same narrative over again, But in each books he takes the same pattern and narrating in a different direction, he explores the shit out of the subject matter and doesnt shy away from
