Choke by Chuck Palahniuk

Author: Chuck Palahniuk
Genre: Mystery, action
Rating:4

I went into this book very excited. I have only read one other Palahniuk novel- Invisible Monsters- so I was looking forward to reading this one. The story sounded great: a med school dropout who fakes choking to death in restaurants to pay his mother's way through the nursing home. The book proved to be less about that and more about nothing, really. I think I have to just face the fact that I am not a Palahniuk fan, because it took me finishing this book to remember that I did not particularly care for Invisible Monsters the first time I read it.

I do not mesh well with Palahniuk's style, and the overall content of the book was nothing I could relate to, nor was it anything that I was interested in finding more about.

The book was blah for me. I really did not care for it, but that does not necessarily mean that the book was bad. I just didn't care for it. I know that some people have liked this book, but alas I did not.
