I just finished, "Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey" by Mr. Chuck Palahniuk, aka the guy who wrote "Fight Club". I'm still trying to decide how I feel about it.
I went through phases. Chuck got me all hooked on hearing about Rant and his rabies and hillbilliness and all the crazy shit he did.
Then, it felt like act 2 started and he talked FOREVER AND EVER about Party Crashing and people who were NOT Rant and he started to lose me.
And by the final act, he had me again. I really liked how the book ended, he always has good plot twists.
I don't know though. I feel like when you read one Palahniuk book, you basically have an understanding of whats going to happen when you read this book. I haven't read them all, but this is my 3rd. The three I've read have all been really good books by them selves, but when you compare them to the other two, there's a huge sense of familiartiy. A troubled main character who has a very -quirky - personality trait/life, a - quirky - girl, some life changing/end of the world decision that weighs on them, then the plot twist.

That being said, I'm not hating on this book, it's a really good book. I liked how the story was told through other people's stories, and I really liked Rant (so much so that I got bored when people weren't talking about him). I even wanna go back and re-read some parts knowing the end of the book. A good book, I'm just saying, I feel like it's a familiar outline.
