About this product

Product Information

Victor Mancini, a medical-school dropout, is an antihero for our deranged times. Needing to pay elder care for his mother, Victor has devised an ingenious scam: he pretends to choke on pieces of food while dining in upscale restaurants. He then allows himself to be "saved" by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor's life, go on to send checks to support him. When he's not pulling this stunt, Victor cruises sexual addiction recovery workshops for action, visits his addled mom, and spends his days working at a colonial theme park. His creator, Chuck Palahniuk, is the visionary we need and the satirist we deserve.

Chuck Palahniuk's splenetic, anarchic glee makes him a worthy heir to Ken Kesey." -- Newsday "Palahniuk displays a Swiftian gift for satire, as well as a knack for crafting mesmerizing sentences." --San Francisco Examiner "Puts a bleakly humorous spin on self-help, addiction recovery, and childhood trauma . . .

For Sure...
This was a fun book and a very easy read. It had a few cool plot twists and the ending was delightful. I found some aspects of it to be very annoying. An example of that would be how the main character says 'for sure,...' in almost every sentence. That didn't take away from the book though. The characters were a lot of fun. The twists were all understated in a nice way. It was a quick read and it was so refreshing!

Not that great of a book
I bought this book after reading an article about the author of Fight Club and what a sick puppy he is. It sounded kinda fun. Unfortunately the writing style and content is too much like an extended short story found in playboy. A lot of sex, not a lot of insight or plot. Definately a guy book!
