Product Description:
From the master of literary mayhem and provocation, a full-frontal Triple X novel that goes where no American work of fiction has gone before
Cassie Wright, porn priestess, intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication. On camera. With six hundred men. Snuff unfolds from the perspectives of Mr. 72, Mr. 137, and Mr. 600, who await their turn on camera in a very crowded green room. This wild, lethally funny, and thoroughly researched novel brings the huge yet underacknowledged presence of pornography in contemporary life into the realm of literary fiction at last. Who else but Chuck Palahniuk would dare do such a thing? Who else could do it so well, so unflinchingly, and with such an incendiary (you might say) climax?
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not Palaniuk's best work, but a good novel
An avid reader of Chuck Palahniuk's work, I read Snuff very nearly as soon as it came out and am pleased, but certainly not overwhelmed.I feel his best works are Survivor and Choke, and that Snuff fails to even live up to the greatness of his more recent work like Lullaby.
It's good and has some writing remiscient of his Guts chapter that was made so famous by its inclusion in Playboy and for his readings having people fainting and it's filled with the same interesting side stories ... Read More
Rating: - worth it if only for the made up porn movie titles
My view of this book is probably most influenced by the facts that 1) I took it out of the library- did not pay any $ for it and 2) it took about 2 hours to read
To me this book is worth reading, though it is my least favorite Palahniuk I have read. summation: Not worth buying but worth reading.
Read Invisible Monsters, Choke and Diary before picking this one up.
Rating:  - don't read this if your a prude...
Hello, I have always been a Chuck Palahniuk lover and I'm probably one of the great few who read "Fight Club" before I saw the movie.If your a prude don't read this book.I'm not even done with it yet; I got it in the mail yesterday and I'm already half through.I love all his books and this is just one more. If you ever get the chance to meet him do it and DEFINITLEY stay for his reading-you never know what will come out of his mouth next.
Rating:  - More of the Same
Palahniuk is such an excellent writer, and there's so much to his work that's genius, but why is he trapped in doing the exact same thing everytime? And I'm the sucker who keeps buying the books, expecting that he'll finally break out of his self-created box.
But I keep being wrong. And so I get stuck reading "Diary," and then "Haunted," "Rant," and now "Snuff." To its credit, "Haunted was slightly better than the other three, and "Lullaby" was OK as well. But "Snuff," in my opinion, ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic
I love Palahniuk books. But I can say, Haunted had some good short stories to it, as did Stranger than fiction. Both had perfect stories in them, complete, start to finish, work that would bring a smile to Amy Hampel's face. But this book, (Rant, not a big fan) was fantastic. Personally I don't like this multiview point stuff that books and movies are taking, but this book is nothing short of fantastic. The people are so clearly done, the story is hilarious. It's nothing life changing, but I don't ... Read More
