Now Lullaby was good - it started off a little slow, but it was fairly good by the end. He really loved his urban legends and Google research, but his other qualities as a writer made up for it. He had interesting stories, a really twisted sense of humour and characters that, while they were somewhat archetypal, were great. He was the author that introduced me to Minimalism and the transgressive scene. Survivor and Choke are up pretty high as well, although they're not as good as those two. Invisible Monsters is right up there as well. And Chuck Palahniuk seems to have caught it.įight Club remains one of the best books I've ever read. Not to mention one very sappy love story. Gone was the style of the original, instead it was replaced with, well, trite: a comic relief character, an annoying kid, lots of explosions and jumping around. and when it finally came out many of them were disappointed. Fans waited for years for The Phantom Menace. Not many movies would have the expectations for a prequal so high. Not many movies would inspire that many toys, books, conventions, video games and advertising bombarments. Not many movies can get people to dress up as aliens or intergalactic warriors and line up on a cold city street to wait for a ticket to the opening session. Love it or hate it, Star Wars has a following few other franchises could ever dream of.
