Review

Praise for Damned:"As gleefully, vividly, hilariously obscene as you'd expect. . . . Irreverent and hugely entertaining." —NPR"Brilliant. . . . Palahniuk's descriptions of hell are inspired, crafted with great comic flair. . . . A winning and funny book." —The Washington Post"Hilarious. . . . The Judy Blume book from hell, just as Mr. Palahniuk intended." —The New York Times "When it comes to drawing up a vision of hell, there are few American writers better suited to the job than Chuck Palahniuk." —Los Angeles Times"Damned is gross, sick, nasty, silly, all the things you want from the merry madman of American letters, Chuck Palahniuk. How can you not be instantly transfixed by an opening like this?: 'Are you there, Satan? It's me, Madison. I'm just now arrived here, in Hell, but it's not my fault except for maybe dying from an overdose of marijuana.' And so begins the kind of goofy, but hypnotically endearing tale of a 13-year-old girl who, completely lost in life, finally starts to discover herself in Palahniuk's demented version of the afterlife....With Damned, [he] opens the fire hose to full bore again, stripping away the veneer on American society and showing us the yucky parts we don't want to see."—Chris Talbot, AP"[T]horoughly original...satiric and horrifying, enough so you'll want to repent after you read."—Christian DuChateau, CNN"Some Fight Club trademarks--youthful disaffection, violence, gross-out humor, a dystopic setting, cultural satire as an extreme sport, a decent helping of third-act pathos--can be seen in...Damned.  Even prepubescent Madison Spencer, the protagonist of Damned, has traits that could be seen as Tyler Durden-esque. She's disaffected from society (i.e., those still alive), she kicks serious butt and is a cultural critic who becomes an unlikely leader....It's hard to pitch the broadly satirical Damned as a useful replacement narrative of life after death, but it's a rollicking adventure of Swiftian proportions, a Valleyfair of the Underworld that, incidentally, shows an overweight teenage girl bringing Satan himself down a peg."—Claude Peck, Minneapolis Star-Tribune"Damned is typical of Palahniuk's work: a scathing satire that is unfiltered, caustic and smart....[His] descriptions of hell are priceless."—Rege Behe, Pittsburgh Tribune Review"Even just its first few chapters reveal several layers of satiric humor, social commentary, Grand Guignol violence and heartbreaking insight....The narrator's blend of snark, precocious wit and unconcealed vulnerability and need is a combination as refreshing as the book is hard to put down."—Bill O'Driscoll, Pittsburgh City Paper

After seeing so many posts raving about Chuck Palahniuk, I finally decided to give his twisted humor a try. Why did I wait so long? Damned was a fun romp through Hell with Madison, a 13-year-old girl. 👍This book is a satirical roller-coaster ride, taking on adolescence, religion, the media and just about every other aspect of society. Palahniuk pulled no punches in his descriptions of Madison's parents, and he is equally blunt creating his other characters. 👍This was the first of his books I have read, but it won't be the last. Now it's on to the sequel, Doomed.👍My Rating: 4.5/5 stars

I know I’m not alone when I gasp at how sophisticated young teenagers and preteens are today. Maybe even in ancient times the youth of yesterday astonished their elders by spewing modern thoughts and getting into situations far beyond their years. Margaret’s story is tragic, but plausible due to that fact. We all know a young person with a quick wit and intelligence who, though awkward on the outside, yearns to experience life and love. Being in Hell brings out the heroine in little Miss Margaret. Soon she’s taming demons and avenging history’s rankest foes. Her decorating and personal touch with landscaping is an unexpected bonus. Satan never saw her coming. Maybe teenagers really do have all the answers after all?

It's funny how a novel about Hell is what we all needed for Chuck Palahniuk to return from his three book slump of the past few years. I enjoyed Snuff more than others, but still was dissapointed. Pygmy was decent, but I was not a fan of the broken english. I enjoyed the style of Tell-All, but there wasn't much plot or story behind it.It has been almost fifteen years or so since Chuck began writing Fight Club: A Novel, and he has changed a lot over his career. In some ways, for the worse. In some, for the better. But overall, "Damned" by Chuck Palahniuk is a hopeful promise for the future, a good return path for Chuck to start up his excellence again.Damned is the story of little Madison, a young woman who wakes up one day to find herself damned to hell. As she prays... er, well, that's not the right word. As she solicits the idea of Satan to come and tell her what she did wrong, to give her meaning to her life, Madison tells the reader a story that stretches from her youngest memories to the most current event in the timeline. In Hell, she meets various characters, and most of them seem to get their own big "moments". Also, Hitler has a cameo.I'm not going to lie, Damned is as funny as Palahniuk's earlier Choke. Although Madison is in a desperate situation, eternally damned to puberty and no "ta-tas", she has a lot of humor through her language and her tone. Like a lot of other Palahniuk protagonists, Madison is a rampant intellectual, so be prepared to learn a few things along the way, too.As much as I would like to keep singing praises, I do need to address the problems of this book. There are definately scens that could have lasted about seven paragraphs shorter than they did. A lot of seemingly trivial events are stretched out to fill whol chapters, making each individual episode hit-or-miss. Also, I know this is paying homage to "The Breakfast Club", but there are parts where it seems like a downright rip-off (i.e. the whole supporting cast up until, like, page 200).In the end, though, Damned is a solid entry in the career of Chuck Palahnkiuk, the first in a trilogy of novels concerining this Maddie Spencer. Apparently, the next one will be purgatory and the final entry in heaven. Oooohhh. The prospect of a modern Dante's Inferno strikes me as interesting. In the mean time, sit back, relax, and enjoy this novel. As the last words of the book say:"To be continued..."

This is a story of a 13 year old girl's time in hell and the people she meets while she is there. Palahniuk spoofs several things in popular culture in this story by taking them to their illogical extreme. Madison is a privileged if ignored preteen with two self absorbed A-list celebrity parents with a habit of collecting underprivileged third world children. Their indifference lands her in hell and as she describes her experience there the unfortunate details of her life are slowly reveled. This story is told in a king of odd off beat way with both satire and humor. Over the course of the story Madison meets several other people who are dealing with life in hell in their own particular way. If you like Palahniuk's writing style, you will like this book. While I did not enjoy it as much as his other books in that it seemed a little more heavy handed in its satire, it was still an entertaining story.

I don't qualify as an experienced Chuck Palahniuk fan, as this is the first novel of his I have read. The only other book of his I have read was his Portland, Oregon travel book, which having visited that city I found wonderfully descriptive. Damned is one crazy novel. I loved it. His main character Madison is such a smart-ass, that you can't help but like her. I don't think Chuck has done a totally convincing job at trying to talk like a 13 year old dead girl, but I really don't care. And I don't care if there are a few less than logical leaps in the plot either. This book was just plain entertaining. At first I read a chapter or two at a time, but by the time I was 2/3 of the way through the book I just kept reading and reading. Hell is such an interesting place in this book. It sure sounds better than the version religions peddle. So that's where all my fingernail clippings go! (Puzzled by this? Read the book.) Madison's parents are so over the top (a cross between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and Madonna)that you just can't help but laugh at them. Read this book, but please don't take it seriously. It is just fun, and there is no sacred liberal- or conservative- or fascist- idea that is not trashed. If you are easily offended, skip this book. Too bad if you are as this book is too much fun.
