Adjustment Day

Adjustment Day by Chuck Palahniuk     336 pages

This wa the longest 336 pages I have read in a long time.    All the way through it was like the author is screaming at the reader.   the long and the short of it is   Suppose one day that everyone in the world picks a group to identify with and takes it so far as to reestablish borders and countries pertaining solely to their particular group identities and while the ideal is to establish utopian societies, instead all the groups repeat the same historical mistakes and redo the things that have over time separated and segregated.   As are all of Chuck Palahniuk's books there is much sexual and violent content so like the parental warnings = I'm just saying = but with that caveat, I think teenagers could get the gist of the heart of the story.   It is often cruel and unkind and Palahniuk makes many sensical deductions on how the human race gets way off kelter very easily.   Mind numbing at times.  It is Mein Kampf perhaps for Millennials.
