However, his range proves not only useful, but important to the story. At first, his voice may seem out of place for a Palahniuk novel - too rich and full of emotion for a typically nihilistic author. Corey Allen also provides a fantastic narration. It will leave you ruminating on your role in the millennial generation and society as a whole for a long time after you finish it. Anyone, from the anarcho-libertarians themselves to the progressive social justice warriors in the world, can find the bitter humor in the way they’re displayed in this novel. What if your plan to overthrow the government succeeds? Do you think the people can rule themselves? Will they be satisfied by the limited power they inherit? How will it end? Adjustment Day gives these answers in an immensely satisfying way. It’s as if Project Mayhem grew and was successful - it provides the follow-through “but what if.” that anarchists are often too afraid to explore. Adjustment Day is the perfect rebuttal to any and all of the “anarcho-libertarians” who continually misinterpret Fight Club. I feel as though listing your favorite Chuck P book is the proper way to start a review of one of his other works, so people can understand the lens through which you’re viewing it. Invisible Monsters is my favorite Chuck Palahniuk book.
