How did Choke receive such good reviews? I was extremely excited about the movie, but once the reels started spinning, I couldn’t wait for it to end. The movie was slow and boring and not nearly as edgy as its printed counterpart (which was very entertaining and, while slow, was filled with Palahniuk’s dirty insights).
Also, that crappy ending? The novel’s conclusion was far better and accomplished much more than the movie’s. In general, the book version accomplished way more than the film version. Spend your 90 minutes reading the book instead.
