I'm excited to read it. I'm reading Rules Of Attraction but I just put it aside to begin this book. The guy who runs the book store said it's his favorite Palahniuk book. Smile

It's Imke's favorite, too. My favorite is Invisible Monsters. Enjoy!

I liked Lullaby. If you said Diary it would be an entirely different story.
Anyway, I liked Haunted. I know it's not a favorite around here. There was something in it about a stone being polished by all the harsh things in life that clicked with me. I wish I could remember the exact quote.

I thought Haunted was okay, but my faves are Choke and Invisible Monsters. If I had to choose between those two I would have to say Choke.

Haunted is definently my favorite. It is the first Chuck book I read and "Guts" blew my mind. I have been hooked ever since.

ENJOY!!! Does it have the glow-in-the-dark cover?

I met Chuck on the Haunted tour, and the afterword in that book is what really inspired me to write my first novel (technically my second).

I just read guts and it was cool. I dunno, I guess hearing so much about it I was expecting to be revolted and shocked. It's definitely a chuck story and I like it but I dunno... Maybe I'm just not as sensitive as the majority of his readers.

Side note: I'm not happy how final destination stole his premise. I heard it was similar but Jesus it's flat out plagiarism!

I haven't tried but it is a first addition.
