Like most short story collections it's hard to rate. I gave it a 3 because some stories were quite amazing to me and others just fell flat, especially after Palahniuk's promise at the beginning that I would be rattled by these stories.
TW for literally everything and anything you can imagine in these stories, which is probably not surprising given the transgressive title applied to this anthology. Enter at your own risk. Prepare to be disgusted!

High school spurred me to hate THE GREAT GATSBY and the stories of John Cheever. I was a fifteen-year-old pimple factory. How was I supposed to swallow the embittered disillusionment of a thirty-year-old Nick Carraway?
