It’s a romp! Funny, silly, occasionally repetitive but I can forgive that because maybe it’s a commentary on the tedium of the setting, which is hell. It’s almost a young-adult novel, but a little too spicy for that. I thought it was fun, classic Palahniuk, and great as an audiobook, which is how I consumed it. It’s episodic, pretty light, lots of dialogue and action. Don’t expect Crime and Punishment (which I admit I haven’t read) but it’s a good time.
