I last read Diary when I was around 16 years old and thought Chuck Palahniuk was God's greatest gift to the literary world. I devoured every book he wrote and thought he was so clever, so disgusting, and so bizarre, all in the best way possible. Needless to say my reading tastes have changed a lot i...
This book was both brilliant and tiresome. At times I was blown away by Chuck's writing style and prose and within the same chapter, he would lose me completely and I would have to go back and re-read a portion to make sure I was not skipping parts. Weird. I can't say that I have ever read a book qu...
I think Chuck Palahniuk is one of those authors I just don't and am not going to get. I tried to read another book of his years ago and it left me the same way as this one -- weird, with intriguing ideas, but the writing style just doesn't work for me. Too much nihilism and odd, uncomfortable scenes...
I enjoyed this book quite a bit more than I did Choke, the only other Palahniuk book I've read. With strong echos of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," this is a creepy tale of intrigue and intergenerational mayhem on a small island off the coast of the United States.What lengths will the islanders go...
It reminded me vaguely of Stephen King's works, in that strange way, where you're genuinely on edge (or plainly scared) while not really too sure why that is. There's everything here for a horror classic: a sleepy (and somewhat isolated) American community, strange happening and a rather lost main ...
I bow down to Palahniuk and his absolutely perfect use of 'You' in the telling of this story. He pulls the point of view off beautifully and the direction of reference is placed toward the intended audience, the coma ridden Peter Wilmot. An impressive and original piece of work that again sticks w...
My absolute favorite Chuck book so far. It spoke to me bring an artist wit the theme of artists suffering. Original storyline as usual, he does not disappoint... but rather brings it... fully (more so then any other book he has written, in my opinion). Suffering = living. Suffering = true feeling. S...
Read about half of this book on audio, but I couldn't finish it by the time that it was due back at the library. My husband owns a copy of the paper version, so I may read the entire thing one day.It was soooooooooo weird though. Basically, it's the diary of a woman whose husband is in a coma beca...
I really liked the premise of this book. Palahniuk does a great job of setting up the suspense and the mystery behind the motivations of Misty's husband and his failing resort home-town. The problem for me was it seemed to rush into the ending too quickly, about half-way through the book's pace feel...
