Haunted



Author: Chuck Palahniuk

After Rant, this was rather disappointing. And disgusting. Palahniuk has a penchant for the really gross and disturbing, which works pretty well as part of a story. When it forms the basis of an entire book, it's kind of wearing.

I'd try to explain the plot, but it's really just easier to point you to the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haunted_(novel).

Free Food for Millionaires



Author: Min Jin Lee

This book started out as an enjoyable read, but it's too long and I don't really care about most of the characters. Additionally, it's in 3rd person omniscient, jumping into everyones head in every scene and that just seemed lazy on the part of the author.
