There are more plot ideas in Chuck Palahniuk’s Lullaby than some writers manage in a whole book

Palahniuk starts with a throwaway thought - "what if words could hurt?" - and stretches it until it snaps

A black comic cauldron bubbling with contagious ideas

Mr. Palahniuk further refines his ability to create parables that are as substantial as they are off-the-wall

This is vintage Palahniuk: weird, creepy, twisted, upsetting, and ultimately a great read

Colin Thubron seems to be a writer undaunted by immensity, either of place or plot... To the Last City is haunting and passionate and, above all, magnificently fearless
