I think Chuck Palahniuk has a writing style that works well over shorter books but both Fight Club and Survivor get repetitive. At a punt the 250th page it gets to the point of “yeah it’s a disturbing shock factor thing” over and over again.

The actual storyline seems very Vonnegut-esque, so did Fight Club. I like it but like I said (not to be repetitive), it’s a little bit repetitive.
