His pieces are ok for entertainment, but I don’t think there is anything any deeper than that, sheer entertainment value. He isn’t the next Faulkner or Vonnegut, that’s for sure.
agreed. Chuck is awesome because his stories are great and amusing but they are what they are and nothing more. I enjoy his work because I always want to know what happens next. Very few others do that for me. Well actually... really only 1 does. B.E.E the man behind American Psycho. While the book sucked ass for drawing me in for the first 1/4... the rest was awesome.
