I love Chuck Palahniuk (as if everyone in the world didn't already know). Specifically though, this book. The review I picked clearly doesn't know much about the novel or the author, but regardless it's good that he enjoyed the book. Invisible Monsters was supposed to be released before Fight Club, but Chuck's agent advised him that IM was too dark and he's be smart to publish something else. Anyway, it's not as if Fight Club isn't any less dark. All I know is that, depsite what the reviewer says, IM IS for everyone. The book is slightly messed up, but regardless it's fabulous and has catchy quotes. This book is my favorite by him, because of the main character Daisy St.Patience. Her narcissism is beleiveable and Palahniuk is great at telling her story. It reads like a fashion magazine and jumps around at random parts, creating a sense that you missed something. This is what the book says in the beginning anyway. However, once you've read it elleven times (not kidding...) you get the main ideas. I won't give anything away, but I insist that if you haven't read it, do so as soon as possible. It's definitly a great read. And if you already read it, read it again
