Book of the Week: Invisible Monsters

Photobucket

So, Chuck Palahniuk wrote Fight Club. Everyone has heard of it. Most people have seen the movie, but the book is a different story. It's sort of hard to read, every sentence is packed, and it's one of the few times I've found the movie to be better than the book.

But Invisible Monsters is just completely different. Different from anything I've read, actually, and possibly different from anything written. Strange is an understatement...

It starts off with a super model who has just had her jaw blown off, and then she meets a transsexual, currently undergoing surgery to become a woman. Add in an ex-fiance, a trip across country, and one confusing plot twist after another, and you can enjoy one of the weirdest books of your life.

It'll also explain the lyrics to Panic! at the Disco's song "Time to Dance"...Possibly leading to a more disturbing ending than just not know what the song means.

Here is the link to the Wikipedia summary:

DO NOT READ IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO RUIN IT FOR YOURSELF!
You might see the ending coming, but you definitely will if you read the summary!

Give it a try, the only downside is you might have to buy it, since it doesn't seem to be in either our libraries, or in the Chapel Hill Public Library. If you hate it, you could always donate it to the library, and then it would have a copy!

Enjoy!
