During the working day, he is trapped in a 1734 colonial theme park, where the entire self-medicated staff blearily endures abusive school tours while hiding out from the world.
Cruising sex-addict meetings for action, Victor enjoys bathroom trysts with nymphomaniacs on short prison furloughs, focused on maximizing his sexual highs.
Like previous Palahniuk protagonists, Victor Mancini is young and prematurely cynical, a med school dropout whose eerily detached narration of the banal horrors of everyday existence gives way to a numbed account of nihilistic carnage. I would recommend this book to mostly high schoolers, and only those who have a strong stomach.Palahniuk ( Fight Club Invisible Monsters) once again demonstrates his faith in the credo that before things get better, they must get much, much worse. It sort of reveals something about humanity, especially the ending, which I won't give away as many people don't like spoilers. The plot wasn't the most important part of the story, nor my favorite, but it did its job.
I enjoyed learning about everyone's past, despite the images it gave me. The most intriguing part to me was the stories. Palahnuik can get pretty graphic sometimes. If you have a weak stomach, however, you probably won't be able to make it through the book. Most of the stories involve death or extreme injury, but in creative ways. The character's story reveals why they have their names. The writers don't go by their real names, they go by names that are given to each other based on their actions. Throughout the story, each character shares their story. They started sabotaging themselves by breaking the locks, poisoning the food, breaking the utilities, going so far as to start chopping off their fingers, just so that when they are rescued, they can make a movie and earn a lot of money. The writers, however, became enraged, and formed a plan. Once they arrive, they realize that they are trapped in a concrete building. The book is about a group of 15 or so writers who are invited to go on a "Writer's Retreat." They are promised complete isolation from the outside world for three months, provided they do not tell anyone about their location. I put Supernatural/Horror, but it's really just Horror. I wasn't quite sure what to put for the genre of this novel.
