Liked It2 of 2 members found this review helpful “The second of Palahniuk's horror novels (between Lullaby and Haunted), Diary is a story within a story as only Chuck Palahniuk can tell it. It is also one of the more linear of his books, making it a good starting point if you are new to this cultish author. |
Didn’t Like It “Written in a unique style. I liked the art references. A bit over dramatic at times, but that's Palahniuk.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“This story was really bizarre and told in a very unique manner that although was sometimes confusing, proved to be very interesting and effective. It was written in a diary-like style in which each mini-story (chapter) was dated and described it an emotional and hands-on way. Sometimes the author/narrator used a second-person way of diction that brought the reader into a more personal manner and self-inflicting way that brought the reader into the story that effected me much more than the usual story. I really liked this story because it told of how society could affect people in a very conflicting and scary manner, which is similar to Palahniuk's other story of 'Fight Club' that has similar themes. I thought Palahniuk's presentation of these themes were unique and interesting and think it would be good for anyone who is interested in such themes. ”

“It was a little hard to follow because it didn't flow.It took me a while to finish it. But other than that I loved it! All the twists turns awkward phrases, the repetitious writing (EX: Counting 1, counting 2, counting 3...), or Dooley, Donner, and Dunne, Attorneys-at-law, what color is your fungus?) made it a good read. The style was a There are these italicized paragraphs in it that speed you forward. I didn't catch why they were there until further in the book. It's a flash to the future. One that I was highly amused by.

“It's dark, it's full of angst, and in true palahniuk fashion super crazy and strange. It's not his best work, but I still highly enjoyed it.”
