Hello once again zero fans of the blog.I am back again to write about a book I read a week ago and hopefully I'm gonna mention some other staff that are about to cross my mind throughout the composition of this post..So...hey ho let's go...
A week ago I finished reading "Survivor" a novel written by Chuck Pananhiuk.Although I had already read "Lullaby" from the same author,the book was a pleasant surprise to me as there were simalarities but not so obvious and boring as the best-sellers of Dan Brown (if you've read one,you,ve read all of them...)."Survivor" was a scathing ctiticism over the modern way of life,the media-manipulated masses,the so-called messiahs only brought to the surface to serve interests,religion and its brain-washing consequences,couch-potatoes,drugs and their strong association with every aspect of the human routine,love as a heart-breaking and self-indulging crime,masterbation as an act of true-life substitution,sex as the final ordeal to the next level of existence,truth as the only thing we humans have to walk through the shadow of the valley of death.
To make a long story short but also to give you a small picture of the plot I'm going to use the following words:Tender Branson - last surviving member of the so-called "Creedish Death Cult" - is dictating his incredible life story into the flight recorder of Flight 2039, cruising on autopilot at 39,000 feet somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. He is all alone in the plane, which will shortly reach terminal velocity and crash into the vast Australian outback. Before it does, he will unfold the tale of his journey from an obedient Creedish child and humble domestic servant to an ultra-buffed, steroid- and collagen-packed media messiah, author of a best-selling autobiography, Saved from Salvation and saviour of our brave new world.Among other matters both bizarre and trenchant.
So as the author said on his site:"The book is about our educational system and how it leads children to just fit in the existing work market and world,the system does not encourage people to start their own company so that they can create and run their own lifes...".Ofcourse that stands for a great part of the book but there are also other numerous issues that the reader should take into consideration in order to fully comprehend the elements of the Palahniuk's masterpiece and they are the thing I mentioned hesitantlessly above.
So that's all for the book.I encourage you to read it and be empowered by the truth and originality of the script...
