Doomed

It's not for the faint-stomached. It's also rather brilliant… A grand, funny, troubling and rewarding read… Maddie is my new post-alive heroine.

Euan Ferguson, Observer

Funny, bloody and always original. But then we should expect nothing less from the creator of Fight Club.

The Sun

Instantly engaging (and excellently gory)… it makes Tyler Durden's psychological problems look positively pedestrian.

Shortlist

A fantastic exploration of modern fame, unfolding in typically opaque sci-fi style as we follow child-of-the-stars Madison after she overdoses on Oscar night and is driven to hell in a limo.

Grazia

Hellishly good reading... Filled with Palahniuk's sublimely detailed grossness and blacker-than-black giggles.

Bizarre

[Doomed] has plenty of darkness, body fluids and body parts. It's also very funny... but what's often passed over in Palahniuk's work is the genuine emotion: sadness, tenderness, pain, vulnerability.

Sunday Herald

[Chuck Palahniuk is] an uncompromising storyteller…a sort of knowing nihilism that can be pungent, funny and transgressive…. He has a pop star’s knack for existentialism and kitsch.

The Times

Satirical mayhem.

The Lady

Convoluted, imperfect, this is nonetheless a grand, funny, troubling and rewarding read, and personally, I can't wait for the third of the trilogy.

Observer

An inventive pillorying of modern America
