This is done all with a twist of dark humor and irony and certainly is not for everyone. You need to know something about Palahniuk if you’ve never read him before, and that is this: each of his books aim to turn over fucked-up taboo rocks and expose the dirty shadows cast by the vermin of our society and our culture. He’s ripped off his own work essentially! The truth is, he has done better books and this story, while feeling like a “grindhouse” dark-comedy exploitation porn is pretty over the top while at the same time not being very long and follows narrative patterns and styles that he has already done… and better.
Part II: This History of Palahniuk’s releases But if I put it into context with the body of work so far completed by Chuck Palahniuk, you may not hold in such high renown. If I review “Snuff” as a stand-alone book, you may actually like it and think it sounds edgy and post-modern and dive into its gritty exploits and depravity. The truth is I don’t know which one is worse. To start off this review, I must decide whether or not to treat this as a stand-alone book and review only it as if you knew nothing of the author, or if I should put this into perspective for you. I review very briefly the author as a cultural force in the post-9/11 age and then the book I most recently read: “Snuff”.
This review is longer than the book deserves, but not longer than Palahniuk deserves.
