A writer who, once you read him, makes you want to read everything he has done

DeLillo's swift, ironic, and witty cross-country nightmare doesn't have a dull or unoriginal line

Nearly every sentence rings true. DeLillo is a man of frightening perception

Witty, clever and incisive. Marvellously realised

The vistas of his underworld are engrossing

The hip, flip prose skips along invoking and ridiculing pop culture

Damned is highly imaginative and downright funny, representing Chuck Palahniuk at his satirical, twisted best

A dark but funny novel about a 13-year-old girl's journey through hell

Funny and sad, Damned still sneaks in the moments of graphic obnoxiousness that have made Palahniuk into a notorious cult figure

Palahniuk certainly has a way with words. His ever-inventive, high-energy prose is a joy

Damned is vintage Chuck - as dark as it gets, but with loads of gross-out humour, all your favourite dead celebs, and plenty of grim details of the Inferno's unmentionable horrors

Very funny

An almost divine comedy that conjures up an underworld whose sinners are more likely to be guilty of sartorial, not satanic, misdemeanors

A moving and disturbing tale of love and loyalty. And you might cry
