Misty Willnut, der p ̄kunstskolen blev gift med Peter og flyttede til Waytansea Island, der er overrendt af turister, fr̜er en slags dagbog, mens Peter er p ̄hospitalet efter et selvmordsforsg̜.
twomoredays: The entire time I was reading The Gargoyle I was reminded of Palahniuk's work. Marianne of The Gargoyle reminds me of some of Palahniuk's female characters, but at the same time everything is cast in such a different light in Davidson's work that it stands apart. Fans of Diary may very well be interested in The Gargoyle and likewise fans of The Gargoyle should check out Diary.… (mere)
I must say that it didn't click with me as much as Survivor and Fight Club did, but I still loved it. It's a page-turner, and the ending was... just great. I love a book that doesn't leave you disappointed. However, I gave it 3 stars because it seemed like an average book up until the last 50 pages. I don't think that people who aren't especially fans of Chuck Palahniuk would love it.
I didn't.............enjoy this. I think there's probably some learning curve with his writing style that is gonna take me some getting used to. This was an interesting premise that could have been fleshed out in a much better way. Maybe if it wasn't an epistolary work, maybe if it wasn't a faux-this-is-a-true-story-it-was-sent-to-my-PO-box!!! work, maybe if I was a straight dude. I really don't know but something about this could have been better. So a star for an interesting idea and ABSOLUTELY the MOST IMPORTANT STAR OF ALL- reminding me why I don't date Art Boys(TM) ( )
This is the first book I've ever written a review for. And I felt as if it was needed. I'm a big Palahniuk fan, and I pushed myself to finish this book. The story seemed to drag along and was not nearly engaging as many of his other works. His quirky writing style I love is in full force, but I could not get behind the story. The only reason I did not rate it a one star is because that is solely for books I cannot finish. ( )

We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.
We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace. (Je těžké zapomenout na bolest, ale ještě těžší je pamatovat si to pěkné. Po štěstí nám nezůstanou žádné jizvy. Z klidu a míru se tak pramálo poučíme. (s. 188))
Where do you get your inspiration?
Čemu nerozumíme, to si můžeme vysvětlit jakkoli. (s. 86)
Snad kvůli tomuhle ho Misty milovala. Milovala tě. Protože jsi v ni věřil o tolik víc, než si věřila sama. Očekával od ní o tolik víc, než od sebe očekávala sama. (s. 87)
Kdykoli, když vám někdo v dobrém úmyslu předvede, že nemáte žádné nadání, když vám vymáchá čumák v loužičce vačeho vlastního selhání tváří v tvář jedinému snu, jaký jste kdy měli, dejte si dalšího panáka. Paní Misty Wilmothové hra na přepíjenou. (s. 102)
Náš rukopis. Naše chůze. To, jaký vzor porcelánu si vybíráme. Všechno nás prozrazuje. Na všem, co děláme, je vidět naše ruka. Všechno je autoportrét. Všechno je deník. (s. 121)
Leonardova Mona Lisa, to je jenom tisíc tisíců šmouh barvou. Michelangelův David, to je jenom milion ran kladívkem. My všichni jsme miliony kousků pospojovaných tím pravým způsobem. (s. 169)
