I’ve been to a great Chuck Palahniuk fan forum on the web and even hardcore members there aren’t sure about what the F happened in the book. Of course after reading the novel, you may have your own interpretation of the story, but once you reshuffle your thoughts and think back on the book’s events again, you’ll realize it has loose ends probably thicker than the book itself. It is - especially if you’re a Palahniuk virgin - UTTERLY CONFUSING. Now, as awesome as “Rant” is, there’s a BIG problem with the book. I’m sorry, but if you haven’t seen “Fight Club,” you have lightyears to catch up with us cool people. “Fight Club” is Chuck’s most famous novel and it was made into a film starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt in 1999. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised because “Fight Club” is also one of my most favorite films.
“Rant” is the first Palahniuk book I’ve read and I must say, I was completely blown away into the theta realm.

The synopsis says something like the story is about a serial killer who becomes a leader of an urban demolition gang called “Party Crashing.” That synopsis is insipid and meant only to appeal to general “normal thinking” audiences who are virgins from Palahniuk’s violent, reckless and almost schizo way of writing.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.ĭon’t be fooled by the synopsis you may see on the back of the novel “Rant” by Chuck Palahniuk. How can you not love “Rant”? It’s about the second-hand nature of modern or postmodern life, rabies, epidemics, car crashes, sex, myths, critters, virtual reality, the future, and time travel.
