This novel by the author of Fight Club is a collection of stories about the main character, Rant, as told by others around him.

This is hands down the absolute worst book I have wasted my time on. I only read about 3/4 of it before I decided I simply could not read another word. I’ll use it as a doorstop.

This book was tedious, unexciting, and unprovoking. Part of the story was bout Party Crashers, people who like to crash vehicles. This portion of the story is very intricate. The story is written as a documentary so hundreds of people are interviewed. Sometimes a interviewed person only has a couple of lines to say. The strangest people are interviewed and they reveal nothing significant about the subject, Rant Casey. By the end of the book, Rant Casey is still not indentifiable. All the reader knows is that he liked being bitten up by poisonous snakes and spiders. He liked spreading rabbies. He liked giving out old coins to people like if they were pennies. It’s a pointless book. Everything that’s said is useless.

Chuck is losing steam with his last couple of efforts. This is by far his weakest effort to date. I keep hoping for Chuck to return to the same form that gave us “Fight Club”, “Survivor” and “Choke”, but this is just a complete waste of your time. Not worth the $15 Amazon is charging for it. If you really must read this, check it out from your local library, you’ll be glad you did.

Ok, I’ll preface this by saying that I have read all of Chuck’s books and enjoyed all of them, except for Haunted and Rant. I expected more than a time traveling sci-fi book. It had such promise, but it just didn’t pan out. I know Chuck is cutting edge, but a good story is a good story…this just wasn’t one of them.
Sorry Chuck.
