“Truly a sad story. I guess I really hated this book. It was about a guy who either can't work or won't so he chokes himself in restaraunts to get sympathy money. His friends are low-lifes too. But, he seems to have a really good heart. I just hated the way it made me feel. I guess helpless. I just didn't like it. I wonder what the movie was like.”

Yes | No“The story is fascinating, but what might be even better is Palahniuk's unique style of writing. Written from the first person perspective, Choke makes the reader feel as if Victor Mancini was sitting right there telling his story. The characters are well developed and Palahniuk's prose flows so easily, a reader could easier find him or herself engulfed in the world Palahniuk has created. His use of a simple, yet broad, vocabulary adds intelligence to the novel without readers having to consult a thesaurus between chapters.
One thing is for sure: Palahniuk's unique style of writing and great story makes Choke a novel that's not hard to swallow.
