Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Palahniuk delivers another entertaining and cynical social commentary on American materialism and gluttony. In her final pornographic performance, Cassie Wright has decided to be on the receiving end of a 600-man gangbang. Neither Cassie nor the men waiting for their chance with her expect her to survive. But some of the men have very different ideas about what this encounter will mean for them in their personal and professional lives. Todd McLaren does an excellent job voicing the many different first-person accounts. Whether reading the accounts of Cassie's assistant, an aging stud or the Cassie's presumptive abandoned son, McLaren finds a complementary voice for each and keeps them consistent throughout. Given the raunchy discussions of sex and the sinister elements that are often associated with the porn industry, McLaren's gritty voice adds the needed edge to this seedy but interesting novel. A Doubleday hardcover (Reviews, Feb. 11). (May)

From AudioFile

FIGHT CLUB author Chuck Palahniuk's latest novel is an X-rated story suitable for adults only. A actress in the porn industry is looking to create her magnum opus by creating a movie featuring her and 600 other men. The story is told by three of the men in the waiting line, Mr. 72, Mr. 137, and Mr. 600. As steady and skilled as narrator Todd McLaren is known to be, he seems disengaged in this production, never jumping firmly into any of the roles. His reading is confident, but listeners will be hard-pressed to tell one character from another. This weakness considerably reduces what little impact there is to be found in this story.

2.0 out of 5 stars Chuck's pendulum swings., Sep 30 2008

By	The Phantome Drool (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Snuff (Hardcover)

I am a big fan of Chuck. I think his non fiction is outstanding (see Stranger Than Fiction) and the majority of his fiction is breakthrough and astounding. Chuck is a pendulum though and while many of his books will be classics in a generation or so, this is not one of them. This book is a poorly executed, shocking idea that, in the end, seems to exist for no other reason than for the press and attention that is inherent when a popular writer takes on a sensitive subject. It could have been more insightful. It could have been more probing. It could have been more.
