Chuck Palahniuk is rhe only person I'd trust to write in this style about this content. There's sort of a lot going on, between the satire, the pidgin engrish, the bathroom scene and the uhhhhh imitation united nations meet.

I'll admit, I had to look up the plot summary on wikipedia. I feel like this is the sort of book that's more comprehensive on repeat reading.
