Palahniuk is best known for his bestseller, "Fight Club", which was later made into a film. Due to his controversial subjects and interesting writing styles, he was labeled as a king of the underground culture, as well as a nihilist(label which he does not agree upon, stating that he is merely a Romantic with more extravagant subjects).
"Invisible Monsters" deals with the mentality derived from working in fashion, and the negative consequences that come from offering beauty on a plate for thousands of eyes to see, often forgetting one's true personality in favour of one that pleases all-or nearly all.
There isn't much I can state about the plot which won't ruin your surprise at the end, and make me seem stupid until you get there.
Regarding the style the book is written in, I could characterise it as schyzophrenic,yet results in little confusion. The story starts off with several ideas, apparently unrelated, which tie up in the most unexpected manner.You cannot say you read half of a certain book, and got the message completely.
As I am divulging little to none of the contents of the book, I consider some occuring motifs might make you read it: Supermodel, mutilation, a not-so-dead brother, a drag queen.
This gets 5/5 from me, as I couldn't leave the book out of my hands until I got to a new chapter, which would calm me a bit.
good review,si daca asta nu convinge indeajuns blogerii ca sa citeasca cartea asta,au si recomandarea mea. sau,sa ramana la harry potter
