Additional Choke Information
|
Victor Mancini, a medical-school dropout, is an antihero for our deranged times. Needing to pay elder care for his mother, Victor has devised an ingenious scam: he pretends to choke on pieces of food while dining in upscale restaurants. He then allows himself to be “saved” by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor’s life, go on to send checks to support him. When he’s not pulling this stunt, Victor cruises sexual addiction recovery workshops for action, visits his addled mom, and spends his days working at a colonial theme park. His creator, Chuck Palahniuk, is the visionary we need and the satirist we deserve.

What Customers Say About Choke:

I was a quick read. Liked it, but I am ok with not reading it again.
And for some parts it is but he beats the sex to death and the filth. I saw Fight Club the movie, so I thought this guy might have some good books. yuk `like some adolescent being dirty just to be dirty. I went to get his latest "Pygmy", but a reviewer suggested if one hadn't read any of his books to not start with it because it was written in broken english for effect. ok, so I get choke, it looked interesting enough.
I'm adding all of his books to my wish list. This was my introduction to Chuck Palahmiuk in print form (I'd seen Fight Club just like the rest of the free world). Even the small characters were interesting in this great story.
:) Good read. This was definitely another great story bu Chuck, but honestly it reminded a lot of the same themes that were discussed in fight club. But that being said, this has a brilliant way of describing the way the most paculiar relationships have of finding each other.
Choke leads you on a path that you assume is going somewhere, and although it has many surprises, it fails to make any ultimate point.I'd buy it again. I liked this book, it was interesting, twisted, and different. I did not like it as much as Survivor though, but enough to buy another of his books.
