Cannonball Read III: Book #37/52Published: 1999
Pages: 304 (15,329 total pages so far)
Genre: Fiction
Invisible Monsters is narrated by a nameless, faceless (literally) ex-model who lost most of her face in a freak accident. She's telling us the story of her friend Brandy Alexander and how their lives became intertwined. You can't really give much plot without ruining the story since you gradually start understanding more and more with each chapter. The whole story comes together like a puzzle at the end.
I was kind of annoyed at times because most of the time you have no idea what's going on until it is explained later on. It jumps back and forth through time and can get really confusing. Thankfully, it's a short novel with very few characters, so it's fairly easy to piece together the story by the end. The end is worth it though when you finally realize how everything fits together.
I love Palahniuk and will definitely be reading and reviewing some of his other books in the future.
