Make Something Up: Stories You Can't Unread

Make Something Up:Stories You Can't Unread by Chuck Palahniuk    336 pages

Stories so wrong they are sometimes funny, but, sometimes just jaw dropping in their lack of  decorum.    If you can't make it through the first story it is not surprising.    I wavered between is this guy trying to alienate everyone on the planet or is he playing gauche?   Hard to say.   There are many offensive things to be found in this tome but also some really funny gallows humor.   Think if Stephen King's and Lisa Lampanellii's brains became fused in some freak accident then reanimated.  Kinda that.   Some of the stuff he comes off with is so off the charts I could not in full conscious recommend this one,  however, having said that, there is a special niche that would find this book amusing.   it has its moments.
