Welcome to Purgatory. Chuck Palahniuk style.�
After a botched Halloween ritual, Madison Spencer, the snarkiest dead girl in the universe, finds herself trapped in Purgatory, otherwise known as Earth. The upside: she is no longer subject to physical limitations (she can pass through doors and walls). The downside: well, she's still dead. Her first stop is her parents' luxurious apartment, where she encounters her grandmother ghost. For Madison, the encounter triggers memories of the awful summer she spent upstate. As she revisits the painful truth of what transpired over those months, her saga of eternal damnation takes on a new and sinister meaning. It turns out, Madison and her parents have always been key elements of Satan's master plan—doomsday.�

From Booklist
Damned (2011) introduced us to 13-year-old Madison Spencer, newly arrived in Hell after her death; as she tried to figure out what exactly happened to her, she took us on an exciting and often very funny tour of Hell. Now, in the sequel, Madison is back on Earth, stranded there on Halloween, facing the prospect of spending an entire year as (shudder) a ghost among the living. Although not quite as entertaining as Damned—primarily because it lacks the first book’s hellish travelogue—the novel nicely continues Madison’s story, filling in a lot of the blanks in her life (we find out, for example, the real reason why she’s been damned) and exposing an ancient satanic plot that—believe it or not—has poor little Madison at its center. As with the first book, this one lives or dies on the appeal of its teenage narrator. On the face of it, Spencer isn’t the most likable of girls: she’s self-centered, in-your-face, and almost too aggressively clever for her own good—but so was Holden Caulfield. She’s a compelling character, and she drives a novel that will resonate from the get-go with Palahniuk’s many fans. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Palahniuk’s 12 novels have sold more than five million copies in the U.S. His latest will profit from both traditional print publicity and an extensive social-media campaign. --David Pitt
Review
Praise for DOOMED:
"Palahniuk doesn't write for tourists. He writes for hard-core devotees drawn to the wild, angry imagination on display and the taboo-busting humor." —The New York Times
"With his love of contemporary fairy tales that are gritty and dirty rather than pretty, Palahniuk is the likeliest inheritor of Vonnegut's place in American writing."—San Francisco Chronicle
"Few authors have captured the pathologies of modern life quite like Palahniuk." --Rocky Mountain News
"Like Edgar Allen Poe, Palahniuk is a bracingly toxic purveyor of dread and mounting horror. He makes nihilism fun." —Vanity Fair

Crazy in Every Way, But a Ton of Fun!
By Miss Riki
Written in the form of blog posts from the afterlife, Doomed tells the tale of everyone’s favorite snarky thirteen-year-old, Madison Spencer, as she is caught between Earth and Hell in a sort of Purgatory. The voice is everything you’ve grown to love about Palahniuk, and Madison is delightfully sarcastic and pretty much pissed off for the length of the novel. But isn’t that how we all love her? Her witty observations about the world around her are what make these books so wonderful, and there’s no lack of wry humor and biting satire in this second installment of the Damned series.
In classic Palahniuk style, the book opens with a bang and had me hooked right away. I’ll spare you the plot details because quite frankly it would be rude of me to spoil the fun. Nothing in this novel is what it seems and the twists and turns come rapid-fire. I planned on reading a few chapters before bed one night and ended up devouring the book in one sitting. It’s full of action and packed with deftly created characters that both intrigued me and rubbed me the wrong way. Everyone is flawed, but everyone is interesting. Nobody comes out on the other side unscathed.
So, sit down, buckle up, and get ready for a wild ride. The book is crazy in every way, but it’s a ton of fun.

Strange left turn from the voice of the first novel
By Kay_Rock
After the wondrously delicious and decadent visions of hell and the tongue-in-cheek precocious cynicism of Madison in Damned, Doomed feels more like a whiny teen angst novel. All it needs is some post-apocalyptic setting or lovelorn vampires and it could be almost any other self-published YA novel on amazon. The cliff-hanger ending lent a strange tone of incompletion; it didn't really feel like a full novel so much as a rambling chapter in an ongoing series. It was almost as if he had a full two-book story in mind and just threw this bit in as a bridge so he could have a trilogy.
There were some inconsistencies in the personal history of the heroine, as if he'd adjusted a few facts to fit in better with her newfound neediness and fear of abandonment. In addition the voice of the novel was an abrupt change from the first, and the style and tone were a bit more reminiscent of the relaxed, smart-yet-silly novels of Christopher Moore than the razor-sharp alternative realities we usually get from Palahniuk.
I hope I'm right in my guess that this was a "filler" book in order to flesh out a trilogy, and that the third (and hopefully final) installment brings us back to the sharp focus and clever, hip, and scathingly observant social narrative we expect from Chuck Palahniuk.
I can't give it less than three stars because it is still a CP novel, and I'd rather read the worst Palahniuk novel than a dozen novels about lust-filled werewolves or angsty teens fretting about romance in the midst of gearing up to overthrow a corrupt future government.

Entertaining but difficult to connect as a sequel
By Nicole Sweeney
To be fair, I read Damned about a year and a half ago, so all of the details were a little foggy. I love the way Palahniuk writes these books.. his Judy Blume inspiration is really entertaining. It's so over the top that it really makes for a good read.
[Potential spoiler alert] However, I felt like a lot of the events that you learn about Madison's past in this book don't really connect to her character in the first book. For example, her Grandmother and Mother speaking to the telemarketer and her Grandfather telling her that they receive calls from a 'Guardian Angel' and that she will have to fight a battle between good and evil... you don't get the sense that she knew this in the first book even though she should. So it's a little hard to connect her character between the two books in that respect. But again... I read the books so far apart that maybe it's just my memory mistaking me.
