Amazon Editorial Review:
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.

The more Palahniuk I read, the more I love the guy! He's mad I tell you, mad! This book was fantastic, but it probably isn't for everyone. Tender Branson is on a plane doomed to crash in the Australian outback. That's how the book begins on page 289 working it's way down to page 1, peculiar, yet fitting, as he shares with us the events that lead to the moment on the doomed plane, the story of his life. As it turns out he is the last surviving member of the Creedish Death Cult. Does he survive? If he's smart enough he just might, and if he does he could start a new life with Fertility Hollis. I highly recommend this book, lots of cleaning tips and a very unsanitary take on religion in American culture.
