I’ve posted infrequently enough on this blog, that the last title I reviewed was Chuck Palahniuk’s previous book Pygmy. That book still holds the title of the only book I have not finished in over five years. Thankfully his newest book is nothing at all like Pygmy, and I had trouble putting it down instead of picking it up. Coming in at 192 pages, this book was a quick read, but certainly did not lack in content. I was surprised after finishing it, just how much had been packed into the short period of time I spent with it. This book has a very interesting point of view, which Palahniuk fans will know he excels at exploiting. Without spoiling the story, this is a story of the last days of an aging Hollywood Star, as seen from her seemingly harmless and ever helpful housemaid. I guarantee this book will be nothing like you expect it to be, and that is really half the fun of the story. Also the cover is quite sharp, which is a common characteristic of his work. Not sure if this is a result of the author’s influence, or just a very creative art director at his publishing house. Either way, it makes this book very difficult to miss.
