This is the story of a small town hell raiser named Buster 'Rant' Casey who did some slightly unusual things when he was growing up like collecting bucketfuls of his classmate's teeth. Young Rant also angers more animals than Steve Irwin so that they'll bite him and infect him with rabies which he deliberately spreads to his class mates. After he grows up and moves to the city, Rant joins a disenfranchised part of society forced by law to stay in their homes during the day and who get their kicks by crashing cars into each other. After his spectacular fiery death, the government labels him a bio-terrorist who unleashed a deadly outbreak of rabies while others claim that Rant may have had a larger destiny than anyone can imagine. 
 And that's not even the weirdest or most twisted part of the story... 
 This is my second favorite Chuck Palahniuk novel after Fight Club. Rant's story is told as an oral history by a variety of friends and enemies. The mishmash of weird anecdotes about a guy who seems to be completely fucked in the head eventually coalesce into a wild narrative that almost makes an audible click as the story starts locking together. 
 Like all of Chuck P.'s books, it's disturbing and gory and gross and funny and definitely not for the faint of heart or easily offended. As soon as I finished it the first time a few years ago, I knew I'd come back to it again because this is one of those story where knowing the ending gives you a whole different spin on things your second time through.
