I was looking forward to reading this but when I picked it up, I found it extremely difficult. Like other reviewers have said, I thought the accent would just fall into place after reading a chapter or so but it just didn't. I struggled until half way through when I just gave up. Most of the time I had no idea what was going on. Mr. Palahniuk is very intelligent to be able to a write a story like this but then again, what's the point if no one but him understands what's going on? I would love to be able to say that I understood it entirely but I didn't. I really love Chuck Palahniuk but I was very disappointed with this one. It killed my love for reading and I've struggled to get back into reading this since I put it down about three months ago.
