Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk

This is one interesting read. It starts off with a bang and even when flying into the events before the book started are weird, in an interesting way. A lot of stuff happens to Tender Branson and it all kicks off with a misdialed call.

As the last surviving member of a cult, he has been assigned a psychologist who is more interested in herself. Then we have mass murderers, Super Bowl halftime riots, psychics (via a girlfriend kind of), and a goldfish (the only thing he cares for in this life). This shy, weird man is thrust into the limelight of a superstar when a media agent turns Tender into a pre-packaged, made-for-TV messiah, by first making him the image they need. He trains hard, takes supplements, and is into tanning beds. 

He's also not the last surviving member of the cult.  

It's challenging to write a review about this book. The story is twisted and a little far-fetched, but it is also engrossing and fun. There is a message coming through this story loud and clear but I'll leave that for you to figure out. 

Also as he is telling his story, the chapters and page numbers go down. The last page is page 1.
