I'd never read anything by Chuck before this book; I've never even watched Fight Club let alone knew it was a book first. So this was my first taste of /all/ of that. A recommendation from a friend.
That being said, it was alright. The writing gnawed a bit on my nerves, and some of it seemed unnecessarily descriptive and disgusting, but because the book was short I decided to bite back and get through it.
I'd never read about a character with this kind of outlook, so it was a nice break-off from the usual. The best part about /that/ is, that I (we?) can relate to his way of thinking. I wanted to hate the guy, but I couldn't, I can always think back to one time or another where I felt/thought the same way, the difference is he doesn't feel guilty about it.
This book is a nice dose of one of the /worst/ sides of humanity. Depending on the person, it's a nice cold drink of water. Once you get past all the dead flies floating in it.
