«A comedy of horrors, a pantomimic romp through America's obsession with secrets and confessions»

Arena

«Maybe our generation has found its Don DeLillo»

Bret Easton Ellis

«Immensely entertaining...an extremly funny account of an outsider stuck inside America»

Independent on Sunday

«Survivor comes bowling forth out of the same dark corner of the mind as Fight Club... Like its predecessor, it is a terminal novel, a novel that applies the firing-squad principle to extort tortured eloquence from its doomed narrator»

Esquire

«Brilliant satire and savagely funny, Survivor offers much to admire. Palahniuk displays a swiftian gift for satire, as well as a knack for crafting mesmerizing sentences that loom with stark, prickly prose and repetitive rhythms»

San Francisco Chronicle

Kunders vurdering

E
Euphoria – 28.07.2007

– Klamt, klaustrofobisk og intenst brettes fortellingen om et navnløst (og nærmest blottet for identitet?) kultmedlem frem. Dette er en krass og dyster bok som nærmest renner over av skjelvende eksistensiell angst og vår tids tilløp av den stadig mer destruerende materialismen. Samfunnskritikken er med andre ord tydelig, men ikke altfor påtrengende. Den knappe stilen er fiffig formet og i høyeste grad virkningsfull. Historien hugger tidvis til med litt vel overdramatiserende partier, men satire skal tross alt fremstå som overdrevent og satirisk... Palahniuk tar nok en gang aktuelle understrømninger på kornet og har skrevet en vond, men samtidig overraskende humoristisk bok som dreier seg rundt tre hjelpesløst mistilpassede individer. Sterkt stoff, selv om Haunted er hakket bedre enn denne.
