Movie book


39. Chuck Palahniuk "Choke"
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I think I stayed away from it for so long because all of my classmates in college that had read it called it sexist. It's kind of sexist. It hates both sexes, so that's sexist, right?

The book is about a guy that may be a descendant of Jesus Christ, is a sexaholic, chokes in order to save people and make money. A wonderful premise done well. The comic timing is great. The ending is lackluster and makes you feel cheated but it should make you feel cheated.

The same people that said this book is sexist said it was written in order to one day be a film. It probably was. It should make a great film. I'll be seeing that film soon.
