The advice is excellent. Palahniuk is a very kinetic, immediate writer, and a lot of his advice pushes on that. So it'll boil down on your preference. To me, he's one of my style heroes, so it worked perfect. Also the way he combines many different forms of media to talk and advise about writing is frankly excellent and what I miss in other writers.

The story was... gruesome. Nightmarish and odd. Not sure if I got what it was going for and the constant notes interrupted any flow. But this is the beauty of Palahniuk: he's so in your face and immediate that you'll forgive him for stranger turns in plots. Immediate crudeness is still a form of prose and a beautiful one at that.
