Book SynopsisNew York Times Bestseller
"An irreverent satirical fantasy about a sudden and violent upheaval.…Think Tom Robbins channeling Jonathan Swift." —David Takami,
Seattle TimesTrade Review"A quick, horrifying descent into madness and murder, gorgeous in its psychotic build-up and over-the-top execution." -- Jason Sheehan - NPR
"A novel made out of the times we’re living in." -- Graeme McMillan - Hollywood Reporter
"Palahniuk toys with our cultural dividing lines.… The result is a novel that straddles both the horrific and the absurd, kind of like present-day America." -- Peter Rugh - Vice
"A must-read." -- Gavin Sheehan - Bleeding Cool
"A send-up of the many absurdities in our society." -- Mackenzie Dawson - New York Post
"[Palahniuk] joins Sinclair Lewis and George Orwell in Dystopia.… There are traces of noir, magical realism, sf, and horror. It’s all there, with the power to amuse, astound, and provoke." -- Library Journal
"Palahniuk takes the United States’ divided politics to an extreme conclusion and proves along the way that his gift for social satire has only sharpened with time." -- Shelf Awareness
"Visionary and fearless… perhaps [Palahniuk’s] darkest, most biting satire to date.… [R]azor-sharp insights and boundless imagination are matched only by his ability to make even the most stomach-churning scenes somehow vividly entertaining.… [E]qual parts Jonathan Swift and Tyler Durden." -- Booklist
"A dystopian nightmare that takes all the fractures of our modern society and escalates them to a perverted climax." -- Kirkus Reviews
