Description

Victor Mancini, a medical-school dropout, is an antihero for our deranged times. Needing to pay elder care for his mother, Victor has devised an ingenious scam: he pretends to choke on pieces of food while dining in upscale restaurants. He then allows himself to be “saved” by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor’s life, go on to send checks to support him. When he’s not pulling this stunt, Victor cruises sexual addiction recovery workshops for action, visits his addled mom, and spends his days working at a colonial theme park. His creator, Chuck Palahniuk, is the visionary we need and the satirist we deserve.

    Just really, really hard to follow. Description aren’t that good. And I didn’t like the timing. Other than that the auto tried to improvise a “great end”. But mehhh….

    This is my favorite book of all time. Funny, dark, and devastatingly bleak at times, this book will keep you reading and craving more.

  • Great book!

    the book was really awesome, and its usually hard for me to focus and read a whole book quickly but this one was great. the movie was a whole different animal, it had a more comic relief to it. read the book first then watch the movie.

  • Epic!
