Re: Choke
I personally thought it was pretty stupid, but everyone else likes it so i wouldn't listen to me.

Re: Choke
It's the worst Chuck Palahniuk book, but still worth reading. It's just not developed enough, the characters are a bit flimsy, and the twists and turns aren't as good as his other novels. I still enjoyed it tho!

Re: Choke
I can't remember too much about it, but i remember thinking much of it was to weird. I mean what's the deal with the rocks? That whole idea just seemed so pointless and unlikely.

Re: Choke
Choke is good, I've read all his books, Fight Club is the best, and Survivor is good too. Choke is still a good book however, and I would suggest it.

Re: Choke
Choke is very good, but its not nearly as good as Fight Club, Invisible Monsters, or Survivor. Chuck's fourth book, Lullaby is coming out in the next month I believe.

Re: Choke
I�ve read � Invisible Monsters� but I�ve never read any of his other books. Are they written in the same style? or do they have a different flare? I hate the stupid : FLASH �show me greed� FLASH � show me love� FLASH � show me whatever� style that he has.

Re: Choke
Choke is a very good book, the only bad thing is his style is getting just a little old... he does the same thing but different depending on the character in every book.

Re: Choke
All his books seem very similar. If it were any one else, with the exception of the late Douglas Adams, that would really suck, but he's got a really great, unique style and his ideas, story lines and characters are really interesting.
I'm actually reading Choke now. It's allright so far, but his other books had far better intros.
