Publisher's Note After an sudden "accident" leaves her with half a face, no ability to speak, and no self-esteem, a fashion model is approached by Brandy Alexander--who's one operation away from becoming a "real woman"--who teaches her that reinventing oneself means erasing the past and making up something better.
Industry Reviews "Chuck Palahniuk's stories don't unfold. They hurtle headlong, changing lanes in threes and banging off the guard rails of modern fiction. This time he has really done it. Incredibly, INVISIBLE MONSTERS makes the author's jarring first novel, FIGHT CLUB, seem like a leisurely buggy ride....It's Palahniuk's least successful effort to date, yet there are more than enough moments of insight to recommend INVISIBLE MONSTERS. Just not in polite company." Sullivan
"...[T]his book is worth reading at least as a breath of fresh air in the all-too-often stale precincts of the crime genre." Boston Book Review - Gary S. Kadet (03/01/2000)
