Customer Reviews

i ruined it for myself but its a good book
I decided to read this after reading Diary and fight club.

This book is so intense that I really wound myself up and got really anxious about what would happen. I then actually decided to read the end before I got there just to relieve the tension...which was a stupid idea. Cause the end is really good.

just..
dont do that.

but read the book. Its difficult to get your head around palahniuks writing technique at first with the charachters incoherent and nihilistic thoughts but its still awesome.

see through good
i was so impressed by this book that i will now be reading everything Chuck Palahniuk wrote. He's now one of my favorite writers, along with Christopher Moore and Jackson McCrae.

"Invisible Monsters" is a really twisted work that everyone should read. You WILL be put off by some of the humor and references to sex, but that's part of Palahniuk's deal. I can tell you, even if you don't like some of the sections in this book, the coming together at the end makes up for it.

The basic idea of the book is about a fashion model who has become disfigured. Palahniuk uses fashion-type references throughout and the word "Flash!" to denote the fashion world or the remnants of it. A truly well thought out book from cover to cover. I would also recommend the Christopher Moore book "Practical Demon Keeping" and the McCRae "Katzenjammer" for other equally entertaining reads.

Wierd, but amazing
It is so messed up, no one is who you think they are.
Every so often their is a new shock and your like "OMG".
I really enjoyed it and i shall be recommending it to all my friends.
