Rant

Rant is fast and true...and so funny that your facial muscles soon tire * Guardian * This is a wonderful book and the author is never short of wonderful ideas - they fizz from every page. Palahniuk's world might be a freak-show, but it's one that makes a disturbing amount of sense * Daily Telegraph * Palahniuk's fiction shows a rare bravery and occasionally hits true brilliance. Rant may not only be his best book yet, but the best by any novelist in some time * Sunday Herald * The twisted genius behind Fight Club delivers another literary gem... It's a deranged, hiliarious and unique novel * Maxim * It's a sort of Fight Club on wheels... When Palahniuk puts his foot on the throttle and pulls all the various voices towards a spectacular conclusion, in every sense, Rant quickly becomes a definite scream * Daily Mirror * There is no question that Palahnuik is an important writer with a huge popular following... I'm glad he continues to bring us these American visions of Hell, each one more disturbing than the last -- Matt Thorne * Independent on Sunday * [Chuck Palahniuk]'s a writer of remarkable talent, willing to look unflinchingly at despairing lives and their often-warped quests for even momentary redemption. He's a painfully deft chronicler of the meaningless job, the poisonous relationship, and of all the myriad damaging and deadening effects of so-called normal life * Boston Globe * Chuck Palahniuk puts out books the way The Beatles and The Stones used to release records - nearly every year, with precision and artistry * Metro Times * Just as Fight Club pondered the price of everyone becoming supermen, Rant goes one step further and wonders the price of us all becoming gods. It is a common thread in Palahniuk's writing: the yearning for a ground zero of social parity versus our genetically programmed rebellion against hegemony * Time Out * A twisted paranoid version of our world... so even if the suspicion sometimes lingers that Palahniuk is like a hip uncle tring to impress the kids with his capacities fo taboo-breaking and imaginative riffs, he still presents something that we all yearn for * Financial Times *
