Publisher Description
A gang of adolescent terrorists, a spelling bee, and a terrible plan masquerading as a science project: This is Operation Havoc.
Pygmy is one of a handful of young adults from a totalitarian state sent to the US disguised as exchange students. Living with American families to blend in, they are planning an unspecified act of massive terrorism that will bring this big dumb country and its fat dumb inhabitants to their knees. Palahniuk depicts Midwestern life through the eyes of this indoctrinated little killer in a cunning double-edged satire of American xenophobia.

Beautiful love story after all
Very good
This book will turn most people off. However I really enjoyed it and even found it very humorous once I got into the flow of the book. It is written entirely in broken English, so you almost have to translate it. It immerses you more into the perspective of Pygmy, and all the while maintaining palahnuik's typical settings. You have a mother who is always looking for spare batteries. The daughter is a klepto, along with other more controversial topics.
Pygmy
Easily my favorite Palahniuk book to come out in a while.
