Adjustment Day

De: Chuck Palahniuk

Narrado por: Corey Allen

The author of Fight Club takes America beyond our darkest dreams in this timely satire.

People pass the word only to those they trust most: Adjustment Day is coming. They've been reading a mysterious blue-black book and memorizing its directives. They are ready for the reckoning.

In this ingeniously comic work, the author's first novel in four years, Chuck Palahniuk does what he does best: skewer the absurdities in our society. Smug, geriatric politicians hatch a nasty fate for the burgeoning population of young males; working-class men dream of burying the elites; and professors propound theories that offer students only the bleakest future. When it arrives, Adjustment Day inaugurates the new, disunited states. In this mind-blowing novel, Palahniuk - an equal-opportunity offender - fearlessly makes real the logical conclusion of every separatist fantasy, alternative fact, and conspiracy theory lurking in the American psyche.

fun concepts on a windey path

Overall a fine book and a good listen. I am a fan of Palahniuk's work; favorites being lullaby, invisible monsters, survivor, and rant. This book just didn't grab my attention as well as those but I still enjoyed the concepts and story. It's worth a listen as a fan but if you've never read Palahniuk's work before start on something else.

I enjoy Palahniuk, but ..

struggled to finish, I really don't know what story was trying to happen...wish I would've listened as soon as I got it so I could've returned it after a few hours.
The narrator didn't help much either..

Chuck's best

If you're a reasonable person in these times of ideological strife, you'll love this book.

Eerily On-The-Nose Satire of Our Social/Political Climate

Maybe it does go a little off the rails toward the very end, but I laughed all the way through it, and on more than a few occasions was left pretty much speechless by both writer & narrator, who reads the whole text with such conviction you almost start to forget how crazy it all is. Highly recommended.

usually love palahniuk

but this one was boring. i was surprised when it ended, but didnt care. I want surprised due to some twist, just that I found myself daydreaming and didnt realize it was reaching the end. that should say something.

loved it....but I'm not liberal.

I thought this was another great story by Palahniuk. Elititist Journalists, Educators and Politicians made to stand trial for looking down their noses at the common people...what's not to love?

Not his best work

Started out REALLY strong, then not sure what happened. Maybe the TV version will be better.

sorta confused

but it's a good kind of confused. I was a little offput by the narration (not the narration itself but the dialogue in the first chapter) at first and that it would have probably sounded better on paper but i got used to it. anyhow, i enjoyed it but I'm not exactly sure what the eff happened. thanks chuck.

Great Book to read but as audio...

I have the hard copy, read a few chapters love it so far. Got the audio because like most I don’t have time to seat down and read it. Audio version doesn’t seem to do it justice, sorry Allen.

Caucasia is at war with Gaysia!

In life we have nothing. In death nothingness lies in wait. In Palahniuk people are humans. In life people are things.
