Thanks to several recommendations from the SDMB members to read Chuck Palahniuck, I picked up Lullaby a week ago. I am about halfway through it and no it hasn’t taken me that long to read it but with the holiday I just haven’t had the time to read.
I am enjoying it for the most part. The Wiccan meeting had me falling over laughing. Oyster would have been SO DEAD had I been in Carl’s place.
My only complaint is that the author seems to jump around a lot. I was totally caught off guard and missed the point where Helen stopped being an adversary and started being an ally. And one page the characters are standing around a dead parrot and two pages later they are in a car driving all over the US looking for copies of the poem.
Okay, I grant all the details between those two points are easily left out and pretty tedious to read. But it was a bit of a jarring experience especially given Oyster’s behavior previously.
But still, I have to say this is one weird book and I am enjoying it immensely!
