Ilustration Toward Books Lullaby
Carl Streator is a reporter investigating Sudden Infant Death Syndrome for a soft-news feature. After responding to several calls with paramedics, he notices that all the dead children were read the same poem from the same library book the night before they died. It's a 'culling song' - an ancient African spell for euthanising sick or old people. Researching it, he meets a woman who killed her own child with it accidentally. He himself accidentally killed his own wife and child with the same poem twenty years earlier. Together, the man and the woman must find and destroy all copies of this book, and try not to kill every rude sonofabitch that gets in their way. Lullaby is a comedy/drama/tragedy. In that order. It may also be Chuck Palahniuk's best book yet.Be Specific About Books Supposing Lullaby

After reading Lullaby, I'm officially a member of the Cult.Chuck, you are to me what Oprah Winfrey is to Josh Nichols.While I enjoy Palahniuk's writing style and I thought the idea was quite intriguing, it just didn't do much for me. There was a lot of conjecturing by the main character about the concept of 'noise pollution' and the implications that a curse like the one in the book would have in real life, which I found utterly fascinating. But I had very little emotional investment in any of the characters or the events, which made the book seem boring and overly drawn out.
15 year-old me thought this was a cool book. I insisted it was a cool book bc there was no way I would read a book that was dumb. Chuck feels like the king of Edgy. Thank god after this book I went on to read books that my mum recommended to me.
Chuck took me on an interesting ride with Lullaby. Its about a culling poem that will kill people when they hear it. But thats a very simple way of explaining this book, theres a lot more to it. It has several themes but it seems to be mostly about how people are never in total control of themselves. We are all possessed by something. I liked the way he talked about people that have problems with excess (ie. Drinking, eating, gambling, etc) are actually being possessed by ghosts of people who
Attention Readers of Edgy Black Writings, of Chuck PalahniukIf you've read Lullaby and have felt bored you are not alone.OKay, so this is my fourth Palahniuk book and I enjoyed the first three so much (Survivor, Choke, & Invisible Monsters)and I was very excited to read this. I got through most of it and felt really bored and unsatisfied. I mean I love the idea of the culling song and having the power to kill by voice even if you just say it in your head but I think the characters and the
How words can be so powerful. How you are never sure whether the life you're having is the life you want or the life you've been trained to want. How you would come to think that your mind is never ever yours alone. How they--from God to tv commercials--control your thoughts for you. To occupy you so you won't be able to have the time to think about things. So you won't have time to actually rebel.Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn't see their thoughts as belonging
