Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk
2.0
Dang! This book went from being a 2 for the first 85 percent to being a 4 for the last 15 percent.
It has a good message and is quotable, but man oh man did it take awhile to get there. I did not like the way that this story was told, but it was well written. The chronology and shifting was rough and I never really got used to it. I know he was trying to be creative and try something new. I appreciate the attempt and support authors taking risks
like this, but it was a miss for me.
“Our real discoveries come from chaos.”
“When you don’t share your problems, you resent hearing the problems of other people.”
“When did the future switch from being a promise to a threat.”
Book summarized in one quote: “You look at burn victims and think how much time they save not looking in mirrors to check their skin for sun damage.”
“To see if I could cope, I wanted to force myself to grow again. To explode my comfort zone.”
“Find what you’re afraid of most and go live there.”
