Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey

Rant: The Oral History of Buster Casey

by Chuck Palahniuk

“Like most people I didn’t meet Rant Casey until after he was dead. That’s how it works for most celebrities: After they croak, their circle of friends just explodes.…”

“At first the format took some getting used to. The middle did drag a little but the end drew me back in. I found myself reflecting back on this books for weeks after reading it. Usually a sign of a good book to me, if it gets my brain stirred up for a while afterwards.”

“This is probably an unfair review, but....

...the story was just too awkward for me so I didn't finish it. I tried my damnedest to get into it, I guess it just wasn't MY cup of tea.”

    “I've read a book with the same format before(The Witch of Portebello), so I thought I would be used to the way Chuck was writing, but the way in which the story switched from one person to another was confusing and hard to follow. The first few pages of the book were really attention grabbing, but by the time I reached around fifty pages, I was ready to give up. I'll probably continue reading the novel after a few days or so, but so far, I am unimpressed.”

    “This bool is edgy, funny, weird, sad and spooky in parts. If everysingle on of us thought about the stupid things we do, i would wager there are some killer stories out there. Look deeper at how the world is being run and who is doing the running.”

    “This book is an amazing display of Chuck's talent. With is unconventional style one can feel a little disinterested in the middle, but when it somes up towards the end it just becomes awesome. Chucks observations and his hidden messages are just out of the ordinary. I really feel this book is worth it.”
