From the author of the cult sensation Fight Club (now a major motion picture starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter) comes Survivor.
"A turbo-charged, deliciously manic satire of contemporary American life." --Newsday
"The only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage," according to the "been there, done that" wisdom of Tender Branson, last surviving member of the Creedish Death Cult. At the opening of Chuck Palahniuk's hilariously unnerving second novel, Tender is cruising on autopilot, 39,000 feet up, dictating the whole of his life story into Flight 2039's "black box" in the final moments before crashing into the vast Australian outback.
Not since Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night has there been as dark and telling a satire on the wages of fame and the bedrock lunacy of the modern world. Wickedly incisive and mesmerizing, Survivor is Chuck Palahniuk at his deadpan peak.
wandering in the unlikelihood
| Customer Rating:  | | I really enjoy this kind of narrative style, but there are just too many unlikely situations to make the protagonist(s) jump from one situation to another completely different, and this happens far too much. The ending is written as if the book should fit a fixed number of pages: the chapters get shorter and their points more random and unconnected. Fertility's ability is used in trivial ways except once (which is brilliant), especially at the end, which seems to be used just to end the book, despite how unlikely it is. In short: the book let me down after having read the Fight Club. |
Survivor: A Novel
| Customer Rating: | Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk *****
Survivor is the story of where it all went wrong. The point in our lives where we have all had choices to make. The choices that affect the rest of our lives. Survivor is the search for something far and something big, maybe something bigger than all of us, it is one mans search for something true.
In this apocalyptic tale Tendor Branson relives his entire live in an attempt to find closure. As he retells his story of servitude, and his survival from the same things that constrict us all we realize the things that are actually important and the emphasis we put on somethings just isn't worth it.
Survivor was UpChuck's second novel and possibly his best. Written with great literary prose and clever anecdotes it is both his most uplifting and insightful, as well as his most humoured and comical. Chuck Palahniuk did it again with Survivor. |
Great
| Customer Rating: | | I wasn't expecting much at first, but then I couldn't put it down. Great book. |
amazing imagination
| Customer Rating: | | over the top satire. Best I've read since Tom Robbins. It just keeps coming at you. |
Not as good as excpected but ok
| Customer Rating: | | I wanted to read a book like Fight club (which I have never read) but I saw that movie so I bought this instead. I do not regret that since this book had some good sections which was entertaining. However I found it slow and not so captivating as lets say Stephen Kings books. Not even close. It was an ok book would not really recommend it, infact at the end I just wanted the book to be finished already..! I would buy Fight club instead I think it would be better but I don't know =). |
