Book Reviews of Diary: A Novel
Book Review: tense if not thrilling
Summary: 3 Stars
Chuck Palaniuks characteristicly nihilistic take on American society and relations between individuals is evident here, though not as strongly as in his earlier books. The unusual 'Coma Diary' format of the book works well after difficulty adapting to it at first, and the significance of the format becomes apparent later in the story.The main character, a downtrodden former art-student, whose husband is in a post-suicide-attempt coma, is being drawn into painting again by the mysterious and fairly creepy locals of Waytansea island. Its more tense than Palahniuks previous novels, but is less subversive, and ultimately less satisfying.
