Invisible Monsters is the best Chuck Palahniuk novel I've read yet. It's full of twists and turns, awful yet loveable yet loathsome characters, and outlandish yet almost plausible situations that make your jaw drop. While I don't think the book is as shocking as it would have been 20 years ago, I think it's an essential read for anyone who enjoys modern satire. Bonus points if you're a former emo kid who underlined all of the lines AFYCSO references.
