MEDIA REVIEWS
Rant is fast and true...and so funny that your facial muscles soon tire - Guardian
This is a wonderful book and the author is never short of wonderful ideas - they fizz from every page. Palahniuk's world might be a freak-show, but it's one that makes a disturbing amount of sense - Daily Telegraph

The twisted genius behind Fight Club delivers another literary gem... It's a deranged, hiliarious and unique novel - Maxim
It's a sort of Fight Club on wheels... When Palahniuk puts his foot on the throttle and pulls all the various voices towards a spectacular conclusion, in every sense, Rant quickly becomes a definite scream - Daily Mirror
