More mainstream than Haunted and slightly less abrasive than Choke, Lullaby is a fun supernatural mystery. There's also something Orwellian about this book, about his work in general, that examines our culture and asks us, point blank, "What the hell are we thinking?"

I tried to read this, but I couldn't quite grasp where the book was heading. Perhaps it takes a certain type to enjoy a book by this author. This was the first book I'd tried to read by him, so maybe I'm just not a fan of his writing. I may try to read something else by him, but this one just didn't quite grab me.

I read half the book but didn't finish it. It starts strong but then meanders and loses focus, and by the middle I realized I didn't care what happened to any of the characters and didn't want to spend more time reading it.

Chuck Palahniuk never fails to capture my imagination and make me uncomfortable. I have been walking around quoting this book ever since I put it down. What a great writer. I think his work will be studied one day.
