As a long time fan of all thing Palahniuk I eagerly awaited the release of this novel to paperback.(as i do with all of his works) While dissapointingly short, Snuff delivers all of the dark humor and useless facts readers have come to expect from Palahniuks work. The story itself is very simple and lacks the many levels of complexity that is indicitive of Palahniuks early work. The entire story takes place in the green room of a porn shoot. I am aprehensive to give away to many details on the plot as going into a Palahniuk novel only knowing the general idea of the story is always best. So I have this to say, If you are a fan of palahniuks work then definately pick this of for a quick read ( just dont expect it to measure up to Fight Club, Survivor, or Choke) If you are looking for a break from your normal genre of reading and enjoy dark humor then this novel is worth giving a shot. While not his best work Snuff is definately not his worst. A mediocre novel in comparisson to the novels of palahniuks past. Dont take my word for it, check it out for yourself

As a long-time Palahniuk fan I was looking forward to this title. It has the trademark Palahniuk style and humor, but it seems like this was a story idea more suited to short-story length, at most a novella, and not a full-length novel.
In other novels Chuck goes on interesting, sometimes only tangentially-related detours, but they always add color and depth to what's going on, and I missed that in this book. The better locked-room' scenario is his other novel Haunted, which is a meatier, more interesting read.
Which is not to say the book isn't enjoyable -- there are lots of great Palahniuk moments throughout the next, just not enough to satisfy this fan.
