Choke is one of those novels that seems to divide people and that's why I love it. Most people will have been introduced to Chuck Palahniuk through Fight Club and would have come to his other works with a set of expectations that are quickly dashed. Choke has some of the same stylish turns of his most famous work but it's a strong, intelligent and deviant book in it's own right. Clever & filthy in equally enticing measures.
