Tell-all

Patrick Book

I called it. But probably everybody who has read a Chuck Palahniuk book before did too.

'Every word he's written about me is a lie including "and" and "the"...' For decades Hazie Coogan has tended to the outsized needs of Katherine 'Miss Kathie' Kenton, a star of the wattage of Elizabeth Taylor and the emotional torments of Judy Garland. The survivor of multiple marriages, career comebacks and cosmetic surgeries, Miss Kathie lives the way legends should. But danger lurks when gentleman caller Webster Carlton Westward III arrives and worms his way into Miss Kathie's heart and boudoir. Hazie discovers that this bounder has already written his celebrity tell-all memoir and that it foretells her death in a forthcoming Lillian Hellman-penned World War II musical extravaganza Unconditional Surrender, in which Miss Kathie portrays Lily defeating Japanese forces from Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki. As the body count mounts, Hazie must execute a plan to save Katherine Kenton for her fans - and for posterity...

Surprise ending. A bit confusing to read, I'd give it a 3.5 stars if I could. Still, it wasn't a bad book. Not the best I've read.

Emily Perkovich

This is definitely my least favorite of Palahniuk’s books. Honestly, every time the name dropping began, I started to skim. But actual story line and language is in line with the rest of his work.

Kerri McDonald

This was a weird book. Once the actual story got going, it was okay, but most of the book was just odd. Not that fun and quirky odd that seems to be so popular, though. Just... like reading someone's rambling, alcohol-induced verbal diarrhea. The end was fun, if predictable, at least. Not a favorite.

Catherine Renee Dimalla

Novelty format, saucy dialogue, and general briefness are really the only things this one had going for it. The plot was drawn out, and ended in a rather expected turn of events. Those actually complaining about the length of it are failing to see how that saved us all from more wasted hours.

G. Jason Head

I've read nearly all of Chuck's books and am a big fan, but this was the first time in a years that I decided to abandon a book. After the 4th chapter I just couldn't take it anymore.

Marinated in the world of vintage Hollywood, "Tell-All" is a "Sunset Boulevard"-inflected homage to Old Hollywood when Bette Davis and Joan Crawford ruled the roost; a veritable Tourette's syndrome of rat-tat-tat name-dropping, from the A-list to the Z-list; and is vintage Palahniuk.
