![]() I've read several different Palahniuk novels and this one immediately feels different. ![]() He has chosen words carefully and placed them neatly to be jarring and throw the reader into a state of inner turmoil. It really weaves the story and establishes what is happening and where this telling of information will lead us. A lot of information is presented as fact which is fun. Aside from this deficiency, Palahniuk has managed to tell a story in which I as the reader have issue discerning what is fact or fiction, trying to decide if it's worth doing the personal research to remain in the suspension of disbelief. The most his voice changes is with the actor character who s reading a script in different ways over and over again for different takes. But based on what is said it should be easy to pick out who it is. Allen doesn't offer any voice inflection with a character change, so it can be hard to identify who is speaking at times. ![]() In my experience with Palahniuk the story has always been told well, and so I'm inclined to blame the narrator/director of the audiobook. Abrupt scene changes are jarring, and I'm not sure if that is the fault of the author or the narrator. A bit confusing at first, but it becomes easier and easier to understand the further along you read/listen. Corey Allen makes an otherwise amazing story drag. ![]()
