Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Lullaby

Book Review: Chuck's books have grown up - but I wish they hadn't!!!
Summary: 4 Stars

The plot is exaclty is stated in the synopsis.
The layout strictly follows other Chuck books - that of Fight Club, Choke and Survivor.
The narrative is, again, from a detatched first person point of view - the lead character, journalist Carl Streator.
But the themes dealt with tend to be less self-destructive than that of his previous works. They deal with moving on in life and accepting that the world around us will continue to go on no matter what. Reagrdless whether or not we want to keep up and be a part of it any longer. Accepting that this world will never be perfect - no war, no famine, no pollution - that we will always grow old and death will always com sooner or later - and we should just grow up and get on with life while it's there.

Personally, I prefer Chuck's work when it's more nihilistic. But, I did really enjoy it. I'm sure fans of his will love it. Thopse who've never read any of Chuck's work should begin with Fight Club, then Survivor, Invisible Monsters and Choke. Then read this.

But, hey, for giving us Fight Club, whatever Chuck writes will always be great.
