    I thought the entire book was amazing until the end. I wasn't very fond of the ending, which is usually my thoughts after reading a Chuck Palahniuk book, but even with me not liking the ending, I still think this is my favorite book I've ever read by him. If you like Chuck Palahniuk and haven't read this book, make sure you do.

  • Very weird story. I thought the ending would be much more meaningful or big or something. Some how it was just anti-climatic for me.

From the author of the cult sensation Fight Club (now a major motion picture starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter) comes Survivor.

"A turbo-charged, deliciously manic satire of contemporary American life." --Newsday

"The only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage," according to the "been there, done that" wisdom of Tender Branson, last surviving member of the Creedish Death Cult. At the opening of Chuck Palahniuk's hilariously unnerving second novel, Tender is cruising on autopilot, 39,000 feet up, dictating the whole of his life story into Flight 2039's "black box" in the final moments before crashing into the vast Australian outback.

Not since Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night has there been as dark and telling a satire on the wages of fame and the bedrock lunacy of the modern world. Wickedly incisive and mesmerizing, Survivor is Chuck Palahniuk at his deadpan peak.
