Powerclown, I finished that book a few months ago and I loved it. The imagery combined with the completely unique writing style did it for me. I really hate that they are making a movie out of it; they will ruin the intrigue by explaining how the world ended. That was one of the things that made the book so great: you don't know what happened, it just did, now deal with it! Grrrrrrrr, I hate modern Hollywood.
AAAAAANYWHO, I just finished Pygmy by Chuck Palahniuk. I'm really sorry to say I was horribly disappointed. The writing style was definitely different, and made for real entertainment while reading it, but that isn't enough for how it ended up. I saw the ending coming by page four. I was really hoping he'd pull a Chuck P twist and not make it so sappy and predictable, but he did not. It really felt like he was rushed to finish it, or he just wrote himself into a corner. Either way, I appreciate the Chuck P formula, but this latest one really hurt.
If you're curious for spoilers, message me.
