Looking back at Palahniuk’s body of work it seems shocking readers comes naturally to him; if that is what you’re looking for, you won’t be disappointed here. He clearly relishes pushing boundaries, playing with the absurd and the grotesque as a way to hold up a mirror to society. -- Claire Inman * Curious Animal Magazine *
Palahniuk is in sublime, caustic form; his story subjects even more wickedly bold. -- Tanya Sweeney * Independent *
Savage, disturbing and frequently hilarious, this is writing at its boldest. * Grazia *
A rough but enjoyable ride. -- Chris Kirkham * Shortlist *
