I didn't even notice when I read it... but I was so irritated with the book in general that it isn't surprising! I generally love his books but Rant just didn't do it for me :(

I hear a stereotypical ditzy teenage girl when I read this. :/

I haven't read Rant (though I have read all of his books before it), but my Palahniuk rant is about Pygmy. I only made it two chapters before I couldn't push back the fact that the narrator's voice is written in a really horrible and stereotypical accent/grammar style and because it's Palahniuk, he can "smell" things like Viagra and antidepressants on people's breath. Oh, okay.
