The first review I found was from the Guardian Unlimited, this review is a positive one praising the authors work as an original masterpiece. In the review they state how the unique structure of this book adds to the originality and intricacy of the novel.

They simply explained it as a bunch of one off stories that could not be book but only short stories complied together and strung together using some weak plot. Their major upset was how that even though their were many different authors in the novel itself they all had the same identical style of writing that mirrors Palahniuks. Which to them was a bit of a bore. This review however did have some identical points such as, they both agreed that it was original and that Palahniuk has an amazing story telling ability....
