I believe Snuff will be good, but I'm also pretty skeptical since the whole concept, sounds kind of lacking.  I mean, yeah it's interesting but how much can you talk about 600 guys and one chick you know? I know it'll tell the story of the guys, but still sounds a little like it could be lacking.

 

Oh well, Palahniuk is unpredictable.

my expectations are very low. i think chuck has become very predictable.

but maybe he'll surprise me and a story about a gangbang will be worth reading for more than the shock value. but i doubt it.

if it's less than 200 pages it'll be ok.

If it's less than 200 pages I won't get it because I don't have the money to buy tiny hardcovers.  I want my money's worth in pages.

I bought 2 from St Helen's (friend and I split cost) and it came to $31 each roughly...I know I'm paying more for the personalization basically, but eff. My expectations are medium level, I'm just hoping Snuff is a little bit of a change from his last few. As much as I love the man, the Durdenesque identity thing has about run its course.

having the honor of reading an arc of the book, I can say that its definately a fun little book, yeah its short but if it went on any longer I think it would have taken away from the story itself. I can't really compare it to any of his books, it seemed like something he did in between books to shake himself free of any concept of monotony, I'm going to reread it on my train ride to ann arbor. The header above doesnt lie, it really was a dirty dirty little book hehe
