Query: Unfulfilled

Palahniuk has a gift for pointing out the obvious and making us grimace, for baring the darkest and blackest parts of what makes us human and forcing us to view them with pure honesty, and I admire him for that. But having the talent to entertain and enlighten doesn't necessarily produce a good novel.Choke left me feeling empty and confused. The sex addiction issues and the dysfuncional mother-son relationship were the well developed themes, but I felt as if nothing gelled together to form a complete statement of intent. Despite a very thorough synopsis of humanity's ailments, the plot just became more and more contrived and ridiculous as the book moved on, and the various 'surprise' endings were disappointing, to say the least because they were not developed; it seemed like they were just thrown together at the last minute to bring things to a close.I enjoyed Fight Club but Palahniuk has failed with this one. Hopefully his next effort will be better.
