About this audiobook

Buster "Rant" Casey just may be the most efficient serial killer of our time. A high school rebel, Rant Casey escapes from his small town home for the big city where he becomes the leader of an urban demolition derby called Party Crashing. Rant Casey will die a spectacular highway death, after which his friends gather the testimony needed to build an oral history of his short, violent life. With hilarity, horror, and blazing insight, Rant is a mind-bending vision of the future, as only Chuck Palahniuk could ever imagine.

Ratings and reviews

This is my all time favorite Chuck Palaniuk novels. It's such a wild story. How he packed so much in 300 some odd pages is beyond me. He was planning on this being the first of a trilogy but scrapped the idea, which I'm torn on. I would kill for more but it's almost to perfect as a stand alone novel. If anyone who has read it is confused about the ending; Chuck answered the burning question in a reddit aMa.

One of my favorites. Rant has got it all, and only Chuck P can give it to him.

Great audiobook
