[COLOR=Magenta][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=7]WOW! BRILLIANT!!![/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
Anyway so yeah. I think it's very close to being his best book out of what i've read (Fight Club will always be a favorite to me). Holy shit these characters are insane.
Let's summarize all the great plot twists....
[B][FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=7]SPOILERS!!!![/SIZE][/FONT][/B]
[COLOR=DarkSlateGray]1) Shannon shot her own jaw off
2) Brandy Alexander is actually Shannon's brother
3) Evie was a man too
4) Evie and Brandy were friends a long time ago
5) Manus slept with all of them and cheated on all of them
6) Manus is gay
7) Brandy knew all along that Shannon was his sister and just acted like he didn't know[/COLOR]
Anything else? Just a great book.

I've read all of Chuck's fiction novels, and I've read a couple chapters of Stranger Than Fiction; he's awesome. I'd call him the Kurt Vonnegut of this generation.
Yeah I should read his books too.

Everyone forgot Lullaby.

o yeah...lullaby is swell, too.

I really didnt like this book.
It just seemed like a twisted self-help novel.
I'm debating on reading Survivor or Choke next. I heard those were his best ones.
someone didnt like invisible monsters? *shock*
[B][FONT=Times New Roman]"all God does is watch us then kill us when we're boring. we must never, ever be boring."[/FONT][/B]
IM was his best in my opinion. Choke was his worst. But I have yet to read Diary so...

*Dances on the spot whimpering 'ohmigodohmigod'* "
how could choke be the worst? *shock x3* Diary was good, lullaby was good, IM was great and i havent read survivor or fight club but choke couldnt be le worst. neva.

diary sucked.
IM was very good.
congrats on the reading
It took me 3 hours to start and finish Invisible Monsters the other day.
It's been five years since I first read one of Chuck's books, and about four years since I had Invisible Monsters sitting on my shelf but for some reason or another I left it sit there while I read, and re-read all of the others.
As I got my ex girlfriend into reading his books--I started her on Choke, my favorite--after she finished Choke she wanted to read IM and she tore through it and kept on my case to read it. She loved it. Even now she still loves the line, "the birds ate my face" and would say the line to me over and over when we'd talk about books.
As I said, finally I got around to reading it, and I loved it. Right away I'd say it shot up to number 3 or so on the list of Chuck books.
Is it a crime to like them all?
Everybody seems to have a "worst" chuck book.

It isn't a "crime" to like them all. But every list has to have a bottom.
I also just finished reading this book and I have to say that at first I wondered if I was only reading this because of who the author was. By the end though I felt like I related to the messages of this book more than those of Palahniuk's other books.
I told this to my friend and he laughed in my face and said "you know your crazy when you can relate to a Chuck Palahniuk book"
good job
now go start on 'survivor'
