About this ebook

Victor Mancini has devised a complicated scam to pay for his mother's hospital care: pretend to be choking on a piece of food in a restaurant and the person who 'saves you' will feel responsible for you for the rest of their lives. Multiply that a couple of hundred times and you generate a healthy flow of cheques, week in, week out. Victor also works at a theme park with a motley group of losers, cruises sex addiction groups for action, and visits his mother, whose Alzheimer's disease now hides what may be the startling truth about his parentage.

Ratings and reviews

I was really excited for my first Chuck experience and this book really let me down :( its okay i guess, wouldnt necessarily recommend it!

The book that got me into Palahniuk. None of his books are for a weak stomach, this is his best work in my opinion.
