one trick pony

Palahniuk is a great writer of fiction. If you liked any of his books you will probably like this one. Although survivor is my favorite, they are all about equally satisfying. I get one of his books when I just want a read that I don't have to think too much about and will keep me intersted. Chuck is a bit of a one trick pony- but in a good way. There is always a surprise charector or something similar. You could be a one trick pony if your trick was always writing a good book- so I don't mean that to be a jab. I just mean that once you are turned on to this writer, you are usually not let down.

put it simply

To put it simply, I really enjoyed reading this book. Chuck Palahniuk has a style of writing that I find captivating and intriguing; once you pick up one of his books it will be a struggle putting it down. This book, in particular, was one of the best I have read in a while. Palahniuk leaves no loose ends, and upon finishing the book, leaves you satisfied. The way this book was written (in the form of a slightly skewed personal diary) makes you feel as though you are actually a part of the characters' lives. In that way, it is a rarity of literature today. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK to any reader who is interested in the "cool and weird" side of lierature. It is certainly something that will not disappoint you and is a fulfillng read. Check out Survivor, also by Chuck Palahniuk, it is pretty amazing.

Dark, but True

Chuck Palahniuk gives Diary the same effect as his other books.He uses an ex-artist Misty to tell the story of her husband Peter. Misty's life begins to fall to pieces when she gets pregnant with Tabbi. She then stops painting and drawing. About 10 years after Tabbi's birth, Peter attempts suicide and ends up in a coma. Hurt and alone, Tabbi is taken care of by her Grandmother. Misty doesn't know what to do and spirals into a drinking spelll as well as using drugs that were perscribed to her. The novel is bitter-sweet with themes of hurt, pain and your own artistic ability.
