I love Chuck Palahniuk, but there are some things I don’t like about him as well. With any other author, I always find their quirks because I write myself.
I hate how a lot of his books make no sense up until the last 10 chapters, and there’s so much detail in them it’s hard to follow. Or they’ll be a whole chapter on something that doesn’t seem relevant to the story, so you don’t really pay attention to it, and then towards the end of the book he’ll bring it up and you’re like Shit! cuz you weren’t paying attention since it just keeps dragging on…
but other than that, he’s awesome.

I’ve only read two of his books and I have to admit that I don’t like his style very much. I feel that it’s really disjointed but the ideas that he comes up with. AMAZING! He’s got one of those wonderfully twisted minds who come up with some brilliant things, but I don’t like his novels because of the way they are written.
