I read this because the content sounded like it would be interesting and fun. I had never read any Palahniuk before and I figured this was a good place to start considering I did not want to read something that I had already seen the movie for. I do like the way he writes, but this book went from OK, to having potential, to just plain lame and disappointing. I feel disappointed because I think he could have done a lot more with it and two thirds of the way through, I just felt like he copped out. I was waiting for the author to get his head back in the game and surprise me, but the novel just went downhill fast. He did do a good job of creating suspense at the right time (which would be when Diary started to get painfully redundant and boring), but then did virtually nothing with it. I will try another of his novels because I really do like the way he writes, but this was just such a downer.
