Our view
“Lullaby” is horror played as satire, a short novel that leaves the reader to work out what is going on. That effort is the fun of the book for some readers, while others lose the thread near the end, find the close abrupt and feel the pieces never add up. Some who know Palahniuk’s other books rank it below his best and are still surprised by it.
