"One of the most feverish imaginations in American letters. . . . More than your weekly prescribed dose of humor and humanity, cleverness and outrage."
--"The Washington Post "

"Brilliant. . . extremely fun. . . . With his love of contemporary fairytales that are gritty and dirty rather than pretty, Palahniuk is the likeliest inheritor of Vonnegut's place in American writing."
--"San Francisco Chronicle"

"Mr. Palahniuk doesn't write for tourists. He writes for hard-core devotees drawn to the wild, angry imagination on display and the taboo-busting humor."
--"The New York Times"

"Unpredictably hilarious. . . . The writing is vivid, raw, and mordantly knowing."
--"Chicago Sun-Times"

"Truly unique. He writes at the edge of crazy, and you can feel his desperate urge to get at the truth of things."
--"The Seattle Times "

"Twisted? Come on, it's Palahniuk. Impossible to put down? Same answer."
--"Men's Journal "

"It's a rare novel that's as funny and as brain-bending as this one. Buckle up."
--"The Philadelphia Inquirer "

"A white-knuckled what-if, "Rant "is the author's most idiosyncratic work to date."
--"The Fort Worth Star-Telegram "

"A strong dose of gore and sinewy prose."
--"Time Out New York"

"So funny that your facial muscles soon tire."
--"The Guardian "
