Summary
“Are you there, Satan? It’s me, Madison,” declares the whip-tongued 13-year-old narrator of Damned, Chuck Palahniuk’s subversive new work of fiction.
The daughter of a narcissistic film star and a billionaire, Madison is abandoned at her Swiss boarding school over Christmas, while her parents are off touting their new projects and adopting more orphans. She dies over the holiday of a marijuana overdose - and the next thing she knows, she’s in Hell.
Madison shares her cell with a motley crew of young sinners that is almost too good to be true: a cheerleader, a jock, a nerd, and a punk rocker, united by fate to form the six-feet-under version of everyone’s favorite detention movie. Madison and her pals trek across the Dandruff Desert and climb the treacherous Mountain of Toenail Clippings to confront Satan in his citadel. All the popcorn balls and wax lips that serve as the currency of Hell won’t buy them off.
This is the afterlife as only Chuck Palahniuk could imagine it: a twisted inferno where The English Patient plays on endless repeat, roaming demons devour sinners limb by limb, and the damned interrupt your dinner from their sweltering call center to hard-sell you Hell. He makes eternal torment, well, simply divine.

a bit directionless
I enjoyed the writing style and sence of humor but I feel like the story was directionless. I've reached the end and was wondering is that it?

Damned
Almost gave up due to it being so different to the other CP novels that I’ve read but the final 2/3 certainly pick up.

A sick roller coaster
that is well worth the listen. You will be repulsed, laughing and wanting more. The story lines and one liners fit the character well. I can't wait to see how the next turns out or down.

Must be a different author
I love the film fight club so wanted to check out some of the author's other work. read survivor and loved it so I tried this one.
I can only presume it was written by someone else taking his name. it's just terrible. the tone is all over the place and there is literally zero story.
there's some great ideas but they are never followed through. 1 idea being that, telemarketing people ring you up from hell to be annoying and it's only a matter of time until our protagonist gets through to her parents.
they just have a little chat and that's it. I feel like there would be a thousand different things you could do with this. it's a great quirky idea but this is also mixed with the protagonist using the decaffetated head of her friend to perform oral sex on a demon.
it doesn't really shock me it just tonally doesn't match up.
