Chuck Palahniuk’s Diary revolves around a character
named Misty Wilmout and her mysterious accession into Waytansea Island, a
curious place. When the reader discovers alongside Misty that there is
something more to her life then working as a waitress at a hoity toity hotel,
it will be impossible to put down. The uncertainty at the mystery of Misty’s
life will crawl under the reader’s skin until the very last page.
You will read Chuck Palahniuk’s Diary.
As with any other novel by Palahniuk, Diary contains
a clever dialogue with a delivery unlike anything you’ve casted your eyes upon.
But Diary is not just a story; it is an experience.
It is a mirror into which the reader will discover simple truths about him or
herself that were always there to begin with. Diary has a way of
crossing all barriers thought impenetrable, written in a strange manner that is
relatable to everybody regardless of race, gender, socio-economic status, etc. More
simply put, it is a modern day holy word. It puts into perspective what was
always there but could never be understood in the form of an endless loop of
infinite wisdom. Even when one believes they have finally found the end and
meaning of the loop it still manages to keep on going, further hypnotizing the
reader.
Just for the record, Diary is not recommended for the weak
or faint of heart, or for those with a phobia of needles. But a phobia or weak
stomach is worth conquering for Diary, with the reward being consuming a
hearty story with the recommended daily doses of fulfilling wisdom.
