This was the first book I read by this author, and I feel so violated! Actually, the style of writing, the subject matter, everything about this book is right on target with me. I couldn't help comparing him to Chuck Palahniuk, which is unfair to both writers because of the significant differences. Palahniuk's humor is much more understated and Moore's philosophical bent, although just a twisted as Palahniuk's, plays a secondary role to his hilarity. Great stuff - looking to read much more of Moore!
