This is the most depressing book I have ever read. I don't know if it could push someone who wasn't considering it to suicide, but it could certainly push someone considering suicide TO suicide. This is all they'd need.

I have never been so depressed while reading a book in my life. It was all the more noticeable because I immediately read one of the "Ender's Shadow" books and I was astonished to find myself feeling happy. It was REALLY creepy.

If you feel really depressed or even if you're a little blue, DO NOT READ THIS! Wait until you're a little up, I suppose, for a cushion. ( )

Oramai è prassi: inizio un libro di Palahniuk, all'inizio mi sembra così-così, poi mi prende e alla fine mi piace.
Questo non spicca particolarmente, ma ne è comunque valsa la pena leggerlo.
Come al solito la trama rende davvero poco di quello che troverete. Se vi piace Palahniuk leggetelo, altrimenti lasciate stare. Funziona sempre così. ( )

Tender Branson, último superviviente de la llamada "secta suicida del Credo", dicta su vida a la caja negra del vuelo 2039, que surca los cielos en piloto automático a unos 39.000 sobre el océano Pacífico. Está solo en el avión que se estrllará en breve el el vasto desierto australiano. Pero antes de que eso suceda, quiere dejar constancia de su travesía personal, de cómo paso de niño creyente y humilde criado a abogado mesías mediatico atiborrado de colágeno y esteroides.

Brilliant from start to finish. There was never a dull moment. It was enchanting, really, and artistically disturbing. Only Chuck Palahniuk can do that: disturb you while still keeping you interested. I liked this slightly more than I liked 'Fight Club', and both deserve the 5-star rating. ( )

I haven't read a Palahniuk book since way back. Either Palahniuk's style is no longer for me or Survivor isn't one of his best - hard to say.
I'm all for satire but I just wasn't feeling this. Too many areas felt like a Fight Club copy, too much rambling commentary on how to clean messes, too much plot convenience.

Maybe I'll give another Palahniuk a shot, or maybe I'll leave it in the past as a pleasant memory. Time will tell. ( )
