From the author of the cult sensation Fight Club (now a major motion picture starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter) comes
Survivor
.
"A turbo-charged, deliciously manic satire of contemporary American life." --Newsday
"The only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage," according to the "been there, done that" wisdom of Tender Branson, last surviving member of the Creedish Death Cult. At the opening of Chuck Palahniuk's hilariously unnerving second
novel
, Tender is cruising on autopilot, 39,000 feet up, dictating the whole of his life story into Flight 2039's "black box" in the final moments before crashing into the vast Australian outback.
Not since Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night has there been as dark and telling a satire on the wages of fame and the bedrock lunacy of the modern world. Wickedly incisive and mesmerizing, Survivor is Chuck Palahniuk at his deadpan peak.

Survivor: A Novel
Survivor
by Chuck Palahniuk *****
Survivor is the story of where it all went wrong. The point in our lives where we have all had choices to make. The choices that affect the rest of our lives. Survivor is the search for something far and something big, maybe something bigger than all of us, it is one mans search for something true.
In this apocalyptic tale Tendor Branson relives his entire live in an attempt to find closure. As he retells his story of servitude, and his survival from the same things that constrict us all we realize the things that are actually important and the emphasis we put on somethings just isn't worth it.
Survivor was UpChuck's second
novel
and possibly his best. Written with great literary prose and clever anecdotes it is both his most uplifting and insightful, as well as his most humoured and comical. Chuck Palahniuk did it again with Survivor.

amazing imagination
over the top satire. Best I've read since Tom Robbins. It just keeps coming at you.
Great
I wasn't expecting much at first, but then I couldn't put it down. Great book.
Not as good as excpected but ok
I wanted to read a book like Fight club (which I have never read) but I saw that movie so I bought this instead. I do not regret that since this book had some good sections which was entertaining. However I found it slow and not so captivating as lets say Stephen Kings books. Not even close. It was an ok book would not really recommend it, infact at the end I just wanted the book to be finished already..! I would buy Fight club instead I think it would be better but I don't know =).
