Diary: A Novel Audiobook

" Palahniuk definitely has his own unique writing style. His characters are fairly pathetic people, with major neurosis. Interesting "twist" I don't know if it was actually a twist because you never know where this book was going. It came together at the end, but didn't really get much out of it. "

" I'm not totally sure how I felt about this book. It is dark and absorbing but by turns it is just boring. It definitely makes you think, and although you can get a bit of sense of what is going on pretty early on, it isn't totally clear until later. I think this book falls into the category of I didn't hate it, it will stick with me for a while, but I don't think it will be something I want to re-read any time soon. "

" The only book by this man I will ever actually like. "

" This book is incredible. No surprise, being that its by Chuck Palahniuk, but he never ceases to amaze me. each of his books is weird and screwed up and brilliant in a different way, and this is definitely no exception. Moving and challenging in a manner rather different from Fight Club and Choke, Diary is freaky and painful and personal; a sad portrayal of life's vicious cycles and the never-ending attempt to break free. Read this book. (It may save your life) "

" Te arrastra vertiginosamente desde la primera pagina a un relato surreal pero a la vez posible del descenso al infierno de un personaje aparentemente anodino. "

" I've heard that some people find this one of Chuck's less-than-stellar works, but I enjoyed it tremendously, even if it did plunge me into the depths of existential despair with a single sentence. "

" it made me think but his characters were too dark and disgusting for my liking. it was hard to find any redeemable qualities in them so i wasn't very sympathetic. maybe that was the point? "

" Rage-inducing. Something I love in a book. "

" My least favorite Chuck book. It was boring, predictable, and not very moving. I read the whole thing, so it was a good enough narrative to keep me involved, but at the end I felt very unsatisfied. "

" It was good. Liked a lot. "

" Great writing, iffy plot. The characters are deranged, multi-faceted and intriguing enough, and the writing as vivid as one would expect from Palahniuk, but the story itself was a bit of a turnoff for me (especially the end). "

" His books are very hit or miss to me, and this one was definitely a hit. I felt a little lost for the first bit, as it can take a while in his books to figure out exactly what he is trying to achieve. Once I had his method down, though, I thoroughly enjoyed this. "

" Such a messed up world he creates. At times I struggled to read this book as the story became more in depth and somewhat unreal. The brutal things that happen to Misty while on Waytansea Island were almost enough to keep me awake at night. "

" Not a perfect book, but really interesting. I started researching the history and composition of artist's paint because of it! "

" Another great book from one of my favorite authors. It is entertaining and has some completely surprising plot twists. This book is intense and not for the light-hearted. "

" Weird book. But what would you expect from the guy who wrote fight club. "

" One of my favorite Pahalniuk books. The final scene alone is goosebump-inducing. It spurred a short story I wrote about Star Valley and Stendhal Syndrome, which is a physical reaction induced by seeing great beauty or art. "

" Oh man, he's at it again. Quite unusual but that's what I like! "

" I like what I've read of his books but this one took me a while to get into. The first two chapters were interesting but it got a bit slow after that. I think it's for those that are already fans, otherwise, this might steer you away. "

" It was good but not my favorite palahiuk book. :) "

" I liked this book, didn't love it. Much better than Choke, Fight Club, Lullaby, or Survivor. "

" Really enjoy most all of this authors pieces. Diary was one of my absolute favorites. "

" This book was better than Survivor by Palahniuk. I really enjoyed this read, though I feel like I'm weird for thinking so. Very different read, a fast read with a larger conspirative subtext. "

" This book entered my dreams. I had to finish the book so the torment would stop. "

" Interesting concept and some great lines, but the story is uneven. Also, the description doesn't really match the story - the 'Breakfast Club' band of characters disappear about halfway through.[spoilers removed] "
