Palahniuk has to be one of the strangest writers around. I don't even know what to say about this book, other than it is profane, violent, X-rated, funny, crazy, indescribable. Told in a fractured English dialog (so well narrated by Paul Michael Garcia!), it tells the story of Agent 67 from an unnamed authoritarian regime, slipped into the Midwest as an exchange student, but indoctrinated against the United States as an evil empire and with his fellow exchange students planning a huge terrorist strike.

Pygmy offers up crazy interpretations of Midwestern evangelical life (well, maybe not so crazy!) and describes his indoctrination into his belief system and how the evil Western empire of the United States needs to be toppled. But he does it in an incredibly naive and open eyed way, where you just have to laugh so many times. He gets himself into strange predicaments and ends up becoming a hero, much to his discomfort.

Much like the other Palahniuk book I read, [b:Damned|9912994|Damned (Damned, #1)|Chuck Palahniuk|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1296236310l/9912994.SY75.jpg|14805540], it is the product of an unbelievably febrile imagination and you just never know which bizarre situation the narrator will take you to next, one that can either make you gasp or laugh or usually both. I still don't know what to make of it!
