so-soNormally, I'm a fan of Palahniuk, but this one fell flat.
What started off as an interesting premise gradually lost its balance for me, resulting in a boring last act. I couldn't help but feel that Palahniuk went overboard with the repetition in this one (especially as it pertained to his world-building), and could really benefit from more "show" and less "tell".
All in all, this one was a "meh" - teetering on a pan. Color me surprised!
bailedI only got a few pages in but I couldn‘t stay focused with the style of writing. To much bouncing back and forth. Just not for me. 🤦♀️

so-soI am probably in a good place to give a so-so rating because I do typically enjoy Palahniuk‘s work. This one, while a lot of fun at first, petered out for me. I‘m not sure where he lost me, but he did. And that‘s okay. You can‘t win them all. A 13-year-old girl is poised take over Hell. I was unaware this was a series when I picked it up, so I‘ll hold off Judgement Day until I finish it. Maybe it‘ll all tie up nicely?
