    "a pointless rant"

    Halfway through it and can't find a point, a plot, or anything interesting besides a couple of small sections and the occasional shocking aspect. Trying too hard to be 'different' and not enough effort into entertainment.

    "like previous versions"

    If you loved Fight Club and want more of the same look no further here comes more shock and shlock. I have to give kudos to Chuck for mixing a tired scifi tale with some shock and awe mystery to twist things up and telling it feels like reality show interviews. While the innovation and creativity is to applauded the tale itself is forced and tiring. Just like Fight Club there are some great one liners, but there's not enough to save it in the end. I had trouble getting into the written book, but Audible has a recording that is a veritable listening feast with the number of readers. Personally, I give the audible version a 3 but the tale itself barely makes a 2.5.
