Joe Hill likes Chuck Palahniuk's writings, just doesn't like his latest effort "Rant".

His latest novel, Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey, is even more ambitious, but here Palahniuk's swirl of characters and plotlines never gels, and the story lurches dangerously toward incoherence. The tale defies simple description, but concerns a country boy, Buster "Rant" Casey, who kills several relatives with poisonous insects, starts a fast-spreading, nationwide rabies epidemic and becomes a legend in a new counter-culture sport, "Party Crashing."
