Invisible Monsters, like all of Palahniuk's works, is an emotional shock-coaster, full of "huh?"s and "wtf?"s. It's a tragic story of how superficial beauty makes you accustomed to a life of decadence, thus leading to a completely boring existence. The story takes you through the character's ways of spicing things up a bit.      The character development is a bit shaky. Some characters you feel you know inside and out, and others that are of equal …

This book has quite a few twists and turns throughout it, and it's very easy to become emotionally attached to the characters.        I would recommend this book to a mature audience, but the readers should beware of the dark, grotesque humor of Palahniuk.        The plot of this book throws the reader in different directions and allows the author to visually deceive the reader using his words        The story jumps …

to all chuck fans, i salute you! my favorite author of all time, and a satyrical genius actually. he makes my brain hurt when trying to figure out the story inside the story.      a story about models. best friends, yet enemies. her long lost brother, and a transvestite. among others. this unfortunate young model gets her face blown off in an "accident". having half a face, she must wear something over her face at all times. she meets a transvestite named brandi, who …

A lesser known work by the author responsible for "Fight Club", and one in which far more twists and turns abound, in my opinion leading to a far more pleasing sense of disorientation than reliance on predominantly one, larger twist, (though I will say the narration is not as consistently stylish as other works).

deffinately a 5/5. my favorite book of all time. palahniuk always has knows exactly what i like i guess. a lot of crazy things happen, but always as if none of it is a big deal. i like his books a lot, i read and own everyone up to snuff. did anyone else know this is the story behind the song "time to dance"? listen to the lyrics and youll see what i mean=)

Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk
Despite the tragedy of the storyline and the callousness of the lead characters, I promise you are going to get several belly laughs from this twisted piece of literature.     In a zany prose reminiscent of Candace Bushnell's 'Sex In The City' and the surrealism of Bret Easton Ellis's works, Palahniuk has written a twisted and sick tale of disfigurement, love, hate, and fashion here in Invisible Monsters.     Shannon McFarland's career as a picture perfect …
