what did you think of Snuff? I got it from the library but didn't get around to reading it

3 1/2 out of 5 stars. Interesting plot (gangbang!) and dialogue driven character development, but the constant perspective change and quirkiness was a bit annoying. The climax was very hoaky and missed the mark with me a bit. The book makes a lot of statements about sexuality, and like most Palahniuk, it's gritty and blunt.
