I love his short stories, so I thought I'd see how a novel went for him. It's a quick read with some dark humor and enough suspense to keep you reading. Better things will come from TG in the future.
Now I remember, God it's been years. I still have an autographed copy of this novel sitting in my garage. This is his first book (I think) and this is how I was introduced to Goldberg. I'm going to have to go searching in the garage and dust it off, and see what I can remember about this one.
Chuck Palahniuk could have written this. Seriously. What a rip-off!
A fun quick read.
dark, funny and ironic.
I read this book not long after it was released; I was working for B&N at the time and got a promo copy.I'll give the author the benefit of the doubt and assume that it wasn't "a ripoff" of Chuck Palahniuk's work, but for me to assume this, I'll also have to assume that Chuck Palahniuk's popularity at the time was a driving force behind the book getting picked up and published.It really does seem like an anagram of "Fight Club" and "Choke," the latter being released a year after "Fake Liar Cheat...
Loved this book and others like Fake ID by Walter Sorrells that make it so easy to root for the 'bad guy.' This was definitely a fun, relatively quick read!
There were a few things I liked about this at first but it slowly got weirder. Most things about it were pretty unlikeable. Except the best friend. Go Charlie.
REVIEW:FAKE. LIAR. CHEATBy: Tod GoldbergREVIEW:Thomas J. Foolerie.DISCLAIMER: Sometimes, people tell the truth. Sometimes, they don’t. But, the sun will still rise, until it doesn’t.There is rarely a book that will befuddle, disrupt, or confuse us. This one came rather close to achieving just that. A while back, we mentioned, that we judge books by their covers, and more specifically, it worked quite well for Whiskey’s Children. However, when we applied that same process to this read, coupled wi...
This was about a 3.5 for me, since my interest definitely picked up about halfway through. Lonnie has a steady job in a management position at a staffing agency. His life seems good... but predictable and bland. At a Barnes & Noble bookstore one night, he has a run in with this beauty, Claire. He tries to be all smooth with her but little does he know he's hitting on a skilled con artist. But after some talks he picks up on what she's up to... and finds himself agreeing to be her accomplice. Lon...
So I LOVED this book right up until the end. The ending didn't work for me. It felt rushed. Still worth the read as up until the end it's fantastic. It deals with action,choices, and consequences which are constantly pushing the story forward. The characters all earn their pay and it’s funny, well written, and entertaining. Read it straight through as I didn't want to put it down.
There are two types of people reading this book, those who have read Fight Club and those who haven’t. If you have it’s a cheap rip off and is nothing comparatively. If you haven’t then it is a pretty good story that is well written. I’m not a fan of the ending but I have a very specific idea of how books in this genre should end so I’m not a fair judge.
Short, easy read about a man who dines and dashes restaurants with an attractive femme fatale, and then feels regret for his actions while on the run from the cops. Very similar to Chuck Palahniuk, however, Palahniuk takes more chances with his writing and thus, this book leaves you feeling a bit cheated.
The first couple pages gave me the hope that this would be one of those quirky, fast-paced, inventive novels in the Chuck Palahniuk vein (only, hopefully, not so repulsive). But instead of "Fight Club", I got "Dine-And-Dash Club". If I was hoping for Henry Weinhard's Premium Root Beer from a cold glass bottle, I got Shasta Diet Cream Sode mixed with half a cup of melted ice.
this book is a complete rip-off of not one, but two chuck palahniuck novels, "choke" and "fight club". we're talking style, themes, plot line, everything. almost worth reading just to be amazed by the fact that this guy hasn't been sued yet.
Not well written. Read some Bret Easton Ellis instead...
Eh.
Not as good as other MTV books, this dine and dash tale of deception rampant with sex, drugs and crime is fast-paced. An optional purchase.
