Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I gave up on this book before finishing. The publisher's summary (the inside flap of the front dust jacket) describes it as satirical horror. Many of the author's prior works satirize the modern obsessions with thrills and pleasure by imagining horrible things that happen to people who engage in risky behaviour worthy of a Darwin Award, or who are obsessed with their sexual prowess and skills like modern of future Happy Hookers. The author has turned these ideas into dark comedy.. This has book plenty of sex in a horribly strange family, along with homicide and assorted mayhem.. In my view, it is not interesting enough for me to suspend disbelief or engage with this narrative, sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

HTML:From the bestselling author of Fight Club comes a hilarious horror satire about a family of professional killers responsible for the most atrocious events in history and the young brothers that are destined to take over. Meet Otto and Cecil. Two brothers growing up privileged in the Welsh countryside. They enjoy watching nature shows, playing with their pet pony, impersonating their Grandfather...and killing the help. Murder is the family business after all. Downton Abbey, this is not. However, it's not so easy to continue the family legacy with the constant stream of threats and distractions seemingly leaping from the hedgerow. First there is the matter of the veritable cavalcade of escaped convicts that keep showing up at their door. Not to mention the debaucherous new tutor who has a penchant for speaking in Greek and dismembering sex dolls. Then there's Mummy's burgeoning opioid addiction. And who knows where Daddy is. He just vanished one day after he and Mummy took a walk in the so called "Ghost Forest." With Grandfather putting pressure on Otto to step up, it becomes clear that this will all end in only two ways: a nuclear apocalypse or just another day among the creeping thistle and tree peonies. And in a novel written by Chuck Palahniuk, either are equally possible. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

I didn't hate this book but it didn't have the same style I've come to expect from a Palahniuk book. I guess I don't know exactly how to put it... The Characters were not as compelling as usual, they were not as personal or something. They lacked that "relatability" that is common to most of Chuck's books.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the book and was completely entertained by it. It was both clever and satirical, and disturbingly humorous as only Palahniuk can be... It just didn't "grab" me like most of his other books. ( )
