Premise
Isn't the premise of this book kind of silly? People save him in restaurants and then send him money - I have never heard of anyone doing that, and can't imagine anyone doing that.
I can think of a sillier premise than that:
Blonde twit marries douchebag and gets $2 million in plastic surgery to boast her singing career. See? There's no way that could work.
I can't imagine vampires sparkling, so I told my friend Stephanie about it a few years ago. Now she won't return my calls.
A young tormented boy comes to find he has magical powers.
But wait--GAME CHANGER!!
Turns out wizards have their own schools where they learn to hone their powers and sexual frustration.

Viagris!!
I gotta admit, before I read Choke I expected it to be real silly. I didn't read much about it, I try to avoid doing that before reading a book, but I saw a trailer for the movie. Though it sounds like a ridiculous premise the way he goes about it in the book makes it very convincing.

Not kidding here: My cousin Stephanie Meyer, completely unrelated to the author, got my whole family a free 2 nights stay at that Westin by L.A.X.
Have you read the book?
