In this novel by Chuck Palahniuk entitled "SNUFF" (meaning either as powder tobacco or extinguish), we're introduced lock, stock and barrel into the world wide web of porn. At first glance, this thin looking book sounded sinisterly like a porn book (what else :-P) with promise of explicit remarks and equally explicit description of human couplings. In short, sex book ala Penthouse, Hustler or Playboy. But the truth is far from assumption mentioned above.
It’s about 600 gang-bangers wanna-be congregating in an area for a grand bang-bang party and/or grand send-off for one of the most famous porn star; Cassie Wright (now aging and past the peak of her career). She wanted this to be the last and the most memorable ever. Surpassing even the fellow gang-bang record holder Annabel Chong... however, things are not as easy as it seems because there's 1 person out of these crowd of hot rods who wanted to kill her. Readers will have to get ready to play 4 different roles in this book told from the perspectives of Mr. 72, Mr. 137, Mr. 600 and Sheila; and it is indeed a fun-filled read with equally surprising ending.
This book has a lot of statements and descriptions noted ubiquitously as "TRUE FACT" which had me scratching my head and had to Google to verify its validity. The following are some of the examples:
1) Hugh Hefner bought mausoleum niche next to Marilyn Monroe because he wanted to spend eternity lying next to the most beautiful women who had ever lived.
2) Eric Flemming died on set of High Jungle when his canoe overturned in Amazon River and piranhas finished the job while camera is rolling.
Not forgetting porn term like "pop shot" as another method of birth control; which means "the male performer achieves orgasm inside the female performer without wearing a condom. After he withdraws, the female performer contracts her pelvic floor with enough force to forcefully expel the ejaculate from her vaginal orifice".
To wrap it all up, this is a highly entertaining book with loads of info and pleasure infused into these 197 pages. However, do not expect this book to be adapted into silver screen (unless they wanted to adapt it into indie film such as “BOOGIE NIGHTS”) or Man’s Booker prize material.
Personal rating: 8 out of 10
Cons:
1) None that I can think of.
Pros:
1) A lot of little known trivia facts; which I assume to be true.
2) Highly entertaining read with rare insight into the world of porn; including trials and tribulations faced by the porn actors and actresses.
