SNUFF

Author: Chuck Palahniuk

Honestly, here's another book i picked up because i was expecting some steamy sex in its pages. However what i got is a glimpse about Hollywood and the porn industry. Chuck Palahnick is the author of the "Fight Club" which was turned movie years back starring Brad Pitt. He is also the author of "Choke" which recently turned to a movie as well. Now "Snuff", I won't be surprised if one day there will be a movie born out of it. It is described as "an absurd dark comedy about damage people..." as The Seattle Times printed. Indeed, the narrator's of the story are damaged. The story is all about a porn star who is getting old and would like to break the world record of serial fornication by having sex with 600 men on camera in an attempt to raise her career or at least give her abandoned baby a fortune. Now indeed this novel introduces damaged characters. Meet Mr.72, sort of 19 years old he claims his the abandon child of Cassie Wright the porn star. Mr.137, who is tagged as a "FAG" coz he has a sitcom before about gay gang bangs. His attempt to raise his career is why he signed up for one of the 600 men. Mr.600 is an aging porn dude as well. Which is later known as the father of the abandoned child of Ms. Wright. And there's Shiela the private assistant of Mr.Wright.

The story actually takes you to the porn world. From porn actors to hollywood actors to the information that Hitler was actually the one who invented the Blow up doll. coz he doesn't want his nazi trops to have sex with slaves while at war coz he wanted to preserve there german sperm for german eggs. ROFL. (believe me guys i checked it in google. at first its just the author making it up to make the book more interesting. But YES its true. its hitler who created the blow up dollys. LOL) There are a lot of fun facts you would learn in the book. Like Marilyn Monroe actually submered herself on ice in a tub before public appearance so that her breasts and butt will look perky. And she also purposely cut short the other heal of her shoes to make her butt sway more while she walk. I googled some of the facts that were mentioned in the book. They are all true. or atleast google lead me to sites who could back up the author on what he has written in the book.

The book might sound like it doesn't makes sense, but it does. Its full of lessons in life. One thing I do when i read books is i write down the lines that hit me hard, lines that actually makes sense or tell you the lessons in life. Like, "it only takes one mistake..., no matter how hard you work or how smart you have become you will be always be known for that one poor choice." And there's the.. "You do porn..., when you already abandoned all hope." Stories about people who made mistakes in their lives and try to redeem themselves but since because of their mistakes people tend to see there mistakes over the good once they have done. People who wanted to reach there dream and ended up to be porn stars coz they needed the money. Life isn't easy, i learned it not after i read this book. The book simply tells us that nothing is sooo perfect in hollywood. As the saying goes, no pain, no gain.
