I did not enjoy this book. I found it boring and I couldn't bring myself to care about the characters. I gave up reading it part way through.

Chuck Palahniuk's DAMNED is a clever, pointed social commentary about a 13-year-old daughter of a famous movie star who unceremoniously dies and finds herself in hell. In her quest to meet Satan and rid herself of that pesky feeling of hope, Madison learns difficult truths about herself and the world while amassing political clout and power in the netherworld. Imaginative and fun, DAMNED feels like it could have been even more.

As always, Mr. Palahniuk does not disappoint. This is an extremely weird, disturbing, disgusting, offensive, fantastic, hilarious, descriptive and imaginative book. I would highly suggest this book to anyone who enjoys Chuck Palahniuk. This book is clever, well studied and well written. Definately a must read.

Good satire and quite blasphemous. Enjoyed reading it. Not for those who are easily offended.

While I generally love Chuck Palahniuk's work, this one I only liked. It had some funny moments here and there, and it's commentary on earthly subjects as seen from hell was surely interesting, but overall I found myself slightly uninterested at parts. I loved the characters, and the usual bits of random knowledge that show Chuck recently read an entire encyclopedia on ancient Demons and Gods, but the main character seemed dull, and so it made it hard to care about much else. In the end I found it a good read though, just not his best.

The setting was fantastic, and the unique aspects of Hell were my favourite parts of the book. Sadly, I couldn't bring myself to care much about the characters.
