What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Wild, gross, undeniably energetic - like a punk version of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun’ – Anthony Cummins * Daily Mail Scottish Bureau *
‘A biting satire that exposes American money, greed and elitism’ * Sunday Independent *
‘Palahniuk reinvents his writing style for this slim volume, which moves at a quick pace with lots of big ideas and dark humour’ * Variety *
‘Die-hard Palahniuk fans will lap this up’ * Publishers Weekly *
‘Readers’ choice whether this is a coded message, a spiked cocktail, or just a secret love letter to art’ * Kirkus Reviews *
‘What sets Shock Induction apart in the Palahniuk oeuvre is its experimentation with form, rendered with a playfulness directed straight out of the page at the reader… Shock Induction is not your standard novel. But Palahniuk is not your standard novelist’ * Seattle Times *
