Invisible Monsters
Invisible Monsters | Chuck Palahniuk
60 posts | 263 read | 71 to read
She's a catwalk model who has everything: a boyfriend, a career, a loyal best friend. But when a sudden motor 'accident' leaves her disfigured and incapable of speech, she goes from being the beautiful centre of attention to being an invisible monster, so hideous that no one will acknowledge she exists. Enter Brandy Alexander, Queen Supreme, one operation away from being a real woman, who will teach her that reinventing yourself means erasing your past and making up something better, and that salvation hides in the last place you'll ever want to look. The narrator must exact revenge upon Evie, her best friend and fellow model; kidnap Manus, her two-timing ex-boyfriend; and hit the road with Brandy in search of a brand-new past, present and future.

A dark and twisted story with an unexpected ending.

While Palahniuk seems to only write antiheroes, the lyric "I'll stare directly at sun but never in the mirror" immediately brought Invisible Monsters to mind.

Reggie I was eating breakfast at a diner when a piece of French toast fell out of my mouth when i found out who shoots her jaw off. Lol this and Haunted are my favorite books of his. 1y
TheBookgeekFrau @Reggie 🤣reading in public can be risky business🤣 Haunted is the only book of his I didn't like. I don't remember exactly why, but it annoyed the crap out me 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1y

Excited for September!

My #BookSpin is a loaner from my cousin and best friend who I haven‘t seen in several months and really miss. Finishing will give me a chance to see her.

My #DoubleSpin is a #FoodandLit selection that I should have finished in…May, I think?

Book 97🎧
This was a strange one…
I almost bailed, but the last 35%, after the majority of the insane time jumps, started to get interesting (and less confusing)😵‍💫
BUT, the author did warn about the scattery-ness!
The last 1/3 and the ending saved this one for me.

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego The twists in this one are wild. 3y
Reggie This is one of my favorites of his. He has these crazy nutso reveals. I remember eating breakfast at this place and having a piece of French toast fall out of my mouth when I found out it was her who shot herself in the face. 3y
BeeMagical @Reggie The reveals/twists in the end half are definitely what I enjoyed most! Totally didn‘t see that coming at all! I was SHOOK. 3y
BeeMagical @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Agreed! Wild reveals!! I wish I could have followed the beginning better😂 3y

Please help me if I‘m missing something! All I could think was this is like the novelization of a Quentin Tarantino movie- and that‘s not a compliment from me lol. I bailed about half way in. Am I missing something, is there a better book to start with by this author? #chuckpalahniuk #invisiblemonsters

Invisible Monsters follows the story of a glamorious fashion model who gets into an accident that leaves her horribly disfigured afterwards.

Invisible Monsters is signature Palahniuk, and for those of you already on his wavelength, this is a must read. If you're new to him however, this may not be the best place to start.

7/10.

I very much enjoyed this book. So many twists and turns, back and forths. Some I saw coming, some were surprises. A tough one to put down, as it was quite a ride and completely satisfied with how it played out.

I read five other Palahniuk novels years ago and consider myself a fan. Maybe I'm just getting too old for shocking, in-your-face, escapades such as this. It‘s full of the typical Palahniuk grossness, strangeness, absurdity, bawdiness, etc., etc. This book isn't for the young or faint of heart. Overall, it'll give this an OK rating because I do like the author's writing style and humor. I just wish it was a bit less cringeworthy at times.

Sometimes I choose an audiobook because of the author and other times because of the narrator. Anna Fields is a great narrator. Chuck is a great writer. Invisible Monsters is typical Palahniuk; it starts out a bit confusing, and by the time you figure out what‘s going on, the novel spirals out of control on its way to a wild finish. While it‘s not his best, it‘s still good. Overall rating: 4.01 stars

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego This was my first Palaniuk. So many crazy plot twists, so entertaining. 6y
Jason7 Yes. There‘s a lot going on in this one, especially by the end. 6y
BookishMarginalia I‘m interested in the .01 stars... 6y
Jason7 A few people have asked about that. Its a ranking system I use for book reviews. I‘ve been using it for awhile. 6y
Jason7 I use it for audiobooks. It‘s a combination of various factors, including the story and the narrator‘s performance 6y

Reggie Omg, this book and Haunted are my favorites of his and I just bought his new one. All of them have been outrageous but he really has some important things to say. The twist(s) in this one floored me. 6y
vivastory @Reggie I think this will be my next Palahniuk, even though I just bought his new one. If you have not read it, I can't recommend Rant highly enough. I think it's his most underrated book 6y
vivastory @Reggie Also, I take a bit of pride that I was present at the KC reading of Guts that he mentions in the back of Haunted 😬😂 6y
Addison_Reads @Reggie This book and Diary are my top two by him, but I really do like almost all his books. @vivastory I loved Rant when I read it, and I'm very jealous you were there for Guts. That's awesome. 6y

Yep, the whole time I was was listening to the tagged audiobook. The timeline was all over the place and everybody kept changing their name and I couldn‘t even try to keep up with who was sleeping with who. But overall, I enjoyed this. You might want to have some Dramamine on hand to deal with all the twists and turns😂

A book that has surprised me the most would have to be Invisible Monsters. It was my first Palahniuk book, and I had never read a book with SO MANY mind blowing plot twists. Not the most realistic story, but certainly an entertaining one.

Sort of blown away. So many twists and turns. Really I just don't know what to say, this was such a wild read. Truly. Of course in a good way. But damn, it was kind of traumatizing. Also her name is Shannon and she has a gay brother. Um, hi. That's a weird coincidence.

But if you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed. You can be a student in anything and not have to know anything. Just say toxicology or marine biokinesis, and the person you're talking to will change the subject to himself. If this doesn't work, mention the neural synapses of embryonic pigeons.
