Reviews
"...[Palahniuk] has packaged the most important lessons he learned over the years and has communicated them in a way that others can digest easily ..."
"The book finally rises to a moving emotional crescendo, in a final chapter that shares moments of serendipity from Palahniuk's time on the road."
"this volume stands apart from similar writing-life books via Palahniuk's integral fidelity: no hand-holding allowed."
"In Consider This, he pays generous homage to authors, coaches and editors who kept him on his unorthodox path when conventional publishing houses wouldn't touch him ..."
"that is to say, his message is concise, given to us in few, well-chosen words that get the point across without a lot of fuss."
"This is also a scrapbook of his writing life, brimming with personal anecdotes instructive, amusing, or bizarre."
"One question niggled at this reader throughout: who is this book for?"
