<i>Rant</i> is fast and true...and so funny that your facial muscles soon tire
Guardian
This is a wonderful book and the author is never short of wonderful ideas - they fizz from every page. Palahniuk's world might be a freak-show, but it's one that makes a disturbing amount of sense
Daily Telegraph
Palahniuk's fiction shows a rare bravery and occasionally hits true brilliance. <i>Rant </i>may not only be his best book yet, but the best by any novelist in some time
Sunday Herald
The twisted genius behind <i>Fight Club </i>delivers another literary gem... It's a deranged, hiliarious and unique novel
Maxim
It's a sort of <i>Fight Club </i>on wheels... When Palahniuk puts his foot on the throttle and pulls all the various voices towards a spectacular conclusion, in every sense, <i>Rant </i>quickly becomes a definite scream
Daily Mirror
There is no question that Palahnuik is an important writer with a huge popular following... I'm glad he continues to bring us these American visions of Hell, each one more disturbing than the last
- Matt Thorne, Independent on Sunday
[Chuck Palahniuk]'s a writer of remarkable talent, willing to look unflinchingly at despairing lives and their often-warped quests for even momentary redemption. He's a painfully deft chronicler of the meaningless job, the poisonous relationship, and of all the myriad damaging and deadening effects of so-called normal life
Boston Globe
Chuck Palahniuk puts out books the way <i>The Beatles</i> and <i>The Stones</i> used to release records - nearly every year, with precision and artistry
Metro Times
Just as <i>Fight Club</i> pondered the price of everyone becoming supermen, Rant goes one step further and wonders the price of us all becoming gods. It is a common thread in Palahniuk's writing: the yearning for a ground zero of social parity versus our genetically programmed rebellion against hegemony
Time Out
A twisted paranoid version of our world... so even if the suspicion sometimes lingers that Palahniuk is like a hip uncle tring to impress the kids with his capacities fo taboo-breaking and imaginative riffs, he still presents something that we all yearn for
