Although it's clear from the number of books you have going at the same time that you probably won't have a lot of free time for reviews anytime soon... but anything would be welcome.  |
Sure, no problem. Well, I'm not the biggest Chuck Palahniuk fan in the world, but I enjoy some of his earlier novels. I just think he kinda writes the same book over and over. But
Damned interested me because it's a journey through Hell from the perspective of a thirteen-year-old girl and her new gang of dead friends, sort of Dante's
Inferno meets
The Breakfast Club.
It starts promising enough but quickly becomes tiresome as the premise wears thin. It's only 220 pages but I found I had trouble finishing it. The stuff in Hell is boring, but the flashbacks to the girl's previous life, and how she died, is where the interesting stuff happens. Then there's a twist at the end which makes very little sense and it ends abruptly.
