I managed to snag a copy of Chuck Palahniuk’s upcoming book, Tell-All.
First things first, it is short. 175 pages short. Second, I found this to be one of his worst books. In fact, his past three novels have left me sort of cold. His style is unique, but I was never able to engage with the characters or the story.
When I read his recent books, I feel like my mind’s eye is seeing the events through a fog. Or from a distance. It’s an odd feeling that I don’t really like.
I found the only reason I wanted to read them was to see his word-play. He never disappoints in that regard, but without any real emotion in his stories it is hard to get involved with the story and characters.
