Adjustment Day

By: Chuck Palahniuk

Narrated by: 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.

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.

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.

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.
