Invisible Monsters

Product Information

Once a fashion model that caught the eye of every individual that crossed paths with her, now she struggles to be seen and loses sight of her own purpose in life. Brandy embodies an exaggerated form of hyper-femininity in the rest of her body, having proportions similar to the original Barbie doll, large breasts, miniscule waist — achieved through a dangerous rib removal — and wide hips. Whether from isolation, malice, or simple boredom, people there were far more credulous and excitable than educated people are generally thought to be, a This horrifying accident shatters her identity as a beautiful fashion model, forcing her into a journey of self-rediscovery and an exploration of what truly defines a person beyond external appearance.

A lot of people I have talked to really don't like this book of Palahniuk's, but I think that is probably because they didn't read it first. It's the same author that wrote Fight Club and it kind of has that same feel where certian things happen and you're like, "wait what just happned, what did I miss? Some of the extra chapters were short 'stories' on a few of the characters and some of them told more about Chuck's background and his experience writing Invisible Monsters years ago.

For a few minutes it might be novel and may even BE fun, but the danger and threat of a sticky, almost wearisome boredom is real. I spent a good chunk of the book stuck in confusion and my mind felt like it had just been exposed to the trippiest thing ever. The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend.
