By the end of Invisible Monsters, we've been subjected to so many plot twists and turns that it's hard not to walk away from it without a severe case of whiplash.
Since Invisible Monsters employs a kind of hyper-narrative that's probably new to anyone who hasn't read Palahniuk before, I thought we'd start off easy by sharing general impressions of the overall book.
Invisible Monsters is actually a pretty easy read so it shouldn't take anyone more than a few days to get through.

Invisible Monsters is meant to be a critique of modern narcissism and the opening chapters are very effective at being such.
In fact, everything about Invisible Monsters screams, "Look at me! Look how clever I am!" Palahniuk intrudes too far into his story as a writer and ends up becoming an obstacle to his own message.
Invisible monsters could have been saved if his editors had had the courage to tell him to ease up a bit.

In Invisible Monsters, the protagonist takes the reader on a journey through her life as a horribly disfigured former model.
"Invisible Monsters" gleicht teilweise eher einer Aphorismensammlung eines Nihilisten, als einem Unterhaltungsroman.
Mag die Idee, die hinter "Invisible Monsters" steht zwar nicht unbedingt die originellste sein, vor allem im direkten Vergleich mit den voherig genannten Meisterwerken, so entwickelt sie sich doch auf eine solch irrwitzige, morbide und vor allem unerwartet tragisch-komische Weise, dass mir nichts anderes übrig bleibt als dem König der neuen amerikanischen Literatur zu gratulieren.

The fashion-model protagonist of Invisible Monsters has just about everything: a boyfriend, a career, a loyal best friend.
From being the beautiful center of attention she becomes an invisible monster, so hideous that no one will acknowledge she exists.
Changing names and stories in every city, they catapult toward a final confrontation with a rifle-toting Evie-by which time the narrator will have learned that loving and being loved are not mutually exclusive, and that nothing, on the surface, is ever quite what it seems.

 Review | Invisible Monsters
She goes from being the beautiful center of attention to the invisible monster referred to in the book's cryptic title.
You have to laugh when Evie's hair is burning, or when the jawless hero's gay brother's face blows up when he accidentally throws a can of hair spray in a burn barrel.
The jawless hero says, "If I can't be beautiful, I want to be invisible." Author Palahniuk is not going to be invisible for long and beautiful wouldn't be the first word that one would use to describe his writing style.

 Get Invisible Monsters Released In Hardcover! Petition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
This was of course "Fight Club," but three years later, Chuck felt compelled to return to his original labor of love: the story of a girl and her rifle, her brother and an ill-fated aerosol can, and one of the most bizarre road trips you'll ever read.
"Invisible Monsters" finally saw the light of day in 1999, although it was released in trade paperback form because Chuck felt bad asking his publisher, WW Norton, to release any of his works for more than $15.
And when we have enough signatures, we'll send it back to Amy Cherry and convince her and WW Norton that putting "Invisible Monsters" out in hardcover could be the best business decision their company makes all year.

"My agent calls Fight Club "hyper-macho" and he calls Invisible Monsters "hyper-camp." I wrote the first draft years ago sitting in laundromats and the only magazines to read were like Savvy and Mademoiselle, and I think Glamour and Vogue.
So I did, and it's about a fashion model who is always the center of attention until her face gets shot off in a drive-by shooting.
And so she becomes culturally invisible and she realizes there is more power in people being afraid of acknowledging your presence than on people focusing on you all the time."

Shannon McFarland's career as a picture perfect model was ruined the day her lower jaw was shot off while she was driving down the freeway.
Told oddly in a profusion of scene jumping, using the written word like flash photography, Palahniuk has written a psychotically offbeat tale that nonetheless will have you turning pages as rapidly as Brandy pops vicodin and estrogen.
I found it strangely enjoyable and morbidly compelling, and if you like screwy and disgusting stories, you will most likely love Invisible Monsters.
