Title: disappointing and tedious Review: As a Palahniuk fan, this novel disappointed me to no end. At no point while I was reading it was I interested. It was just plain boring; the main character was self-pitying and annoying and all the other characters lacked depth. I am usually a quick reader but this book took me forever to get through. The whole experience was downright painful and unfortunately I cannot start a book without finishing it. I know that Palahniuk's claim to fame is his simplistic and minimalistic writing style and in most of his other novels it works, but in this one alot of his lines are just redundant. I feel like I'm stuck in one chapter throughout the whole novel. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your money on this book. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Flat Review: A very dry flat uninspiring read. When the book (infrequently) takes on a tinge of excitement, the mood is quashed by a lapse into tedious detail. Real science and history texts have held my interest better. Is the review positive or negative?

Negative

Title: Should we try to change people? Review: Onion John is Andy's best friend, but Onion John is not an ordinary kid....Onion John is a man who does things his own way. John has lived in Serenity for many years, scavenging to furnish his home, working a little to buy food and supplies. Then he needs a new hinge for his door and suddenly everyone wants to change Onion John, from his home to his ways of making a living to his ways of thinking. The town gets together and decides to build a brand new house for John; it is not really what John wants and before the second day has passed, the house has burned to the ground. Should we change people? Should we try and make everyone fit in? Can it be done? Or does a world need people who don't quite fit, people like Onion John? Is the review positive or negative?
