‘Palahniuk starts with a throwaway thought – "what if words could hurt?" – and stretches it until it snaps’

Customer Reviews

Awesome!!
This book is written on so many levels that it keeps the reader's attention throughout.
This was my first novel by this author, it was recommended to me by a colleague at work; I am forever greatful.
It has opended my eyes to a way of writing that has provided an escape that turns and takes the reader on a journey they will never forget.
I can't wait to read more titles and I had never known about.

Arresting
Lullaby was an absolutely fantastic read. Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Fight Club, I decided to go through the rest of Palahniuck's books. Lullaby is very dark, very gritty and bitterly addictive. It is definitely not a book for the faint hearted, or the easily fazed. It has strong sexual references, including some that turn the stomach. Palahniuck's writing is astounding, he doesn't simply push the boundaries, he sets them alight. This was definitely a book that I found hard to put down, Palahniuck's characters are vivid and intricate, and frighteningly credible. He goes where most writers do not dare, to the dirty, corrupted world of criminals, but also of the police and people in positions of power and trust.

An incredible book, the imagery impressed upon you will stick with you forever.

Pathetic
Chuck Palahniuk is the worst writer in the world, maybe even the universe. After reading Fight Club (completely over-rated due to the success of the movie), I thought I'd try out his other books before I pass judgement. That was a decision I regret till this day. How this guy got his books published, I don't know. His writing style is comparable to that of a 10 year old, his stories are absolutely pathetic and his characters are the same as in his other books. I strongly urge the reading public not to purchase this guy's books, as that would only prompt him to continue his pathetic career.
