Book Reviews of Choke
Book Review: I don't know why I even bothered
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't normally read novels. I picked this one up in order to enthuse me back into reading novels. What a total put-off this was? Could not keep myself interested beyond the first ninety pages. The characters are hazy and there's no plot. The rule of adding a touch of sex to anything to make it work does not cut it with this novel. This book is going straight to the bin!Book Review: I liked it, but it was gross...
Summary: 3 Stars
Despite being instantly disgusted by a lot of this book, I still found it entertaining. I will read anything this man writes.Book Review: Interesting...
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked this book, it was interesting, twisted, and different. I did not like it as much as Survivor though, but enough to buy another of his books. Choke leads you on a path that you assume is going somewhere, and although it has many surprises, it fails to make any ultimate point.
I'd buy it again.
Book Review: Just what I wanted.
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's cut to the chase: this book is amazing.
Unapologetic, raw, and funny as hell. It's exactly what the world of literature needs.
Book Review: Love (or maybe oblivion) and how to get it
Summary: 4 Stars
Like Fight Club, Choke is kind of a short, biographical (and in parts sad, very sad) micro-history of the weird, their weirdnesses, and the world outside of our peripheral vision. Palahniuk turns up things that make me both jealous and glad that I'm not the subject of his work.
