Helpful Score: 2
I know that Chuck has fallen out of favor lately in contemporary culture but I still enjoy him. After reading Rant I decided to try out some of his older works and was glad that he has perfected his craft since then! Choke was all over the place and his usual writing techniques had yet to be nailed down. He tends to have an idea that he carries through the story without you understanding the reasoning behind until the end. In Choke there were about four ideas he was trying to feed you (HA!) and he didn't spend enough time backing them up. I felt that his rushed ending was too compartmentalized and the situations that befell the narrator, tragically trite. Palahnuik has some amazing ideas and themes that he uses in his stories but with Choke, I found most of it hard to swallow.
