Doomed

By: Chuck Palahniuk

Narrated by: Sophie Amoss

Welcome to Purgatory. Chuck Palahniuk style.

After a botched Halloween ritual, Madison Spencer, the snarkiest dead girl in the universe, finds herself trapped in Purgatory, otherwise known as Earth. The upside: She is no longer subject to physical limitations (she can pass through doors and walls). The downside: Well, she’s still dead.

Her first stop is her parents’ luxurious apartment, where she runs into her grandmother’s ghost. For Madison, the encounter triggers memories of the awful summer she spent upstate. As she revisits the painful truth of what transpired over those months, her saga of eternal damnation takes on a new and sinister meaning. And as it turns out, Madison and her parents have always been key elements of Satan’s master plan — Doomsday.

this book has some really unique characters.

the beginning felt like a bit of a slog, maybe want as polished as the rest of the story.

very grotesque

very good book as dark and crazy as it may be. definitely different but good to listen to!

Not great, but not terrible

Not my favorite of his books. The language left a bit to be desired, but I have to remember that it was written as a 13 year old girl. Damned was much better at keeping pace and interest, I still look forward to the final installment.

good disturbing read!

it's twisted just keep with it, told in so many directions you're going to need to pay attention

One of chucks most disturbing and hilarious chapters

Well performed and an extremely hilarious and dark story. Overall feels a bit to long and losses focus. But when it hits it hits hard. Highly recommend.
