For the first time in hardcover, an expanded, radically refashioned "director's cut" of a favorite Chuck Palahniuk novel. Injected with new materialand special design elements, Invisible Monsters Remix fulfills Chuck Palahniuks original vision for his1999 novel, turning a daring satire on beauty and the fashion industry into aneven more wildly unique reading experience. Palahniuks fashion-model protagonisthas it allboyfriend, career, loyal best frienduntil an accident destroys herface, her ability to speak, and her self-esteem. Enter Brandy Alexander, QueenSupreme, one operation away from becoming a bona-fide woman. Laced in are newchapters of memoir and further scenes with the books characters. Readers willjump between chapters, reread the book to understand the dissolve betweenfiction and fact, and decipher the playful book design, embarking on a ridetheyll never forget. All type irregularities in the text are intended. Review ''Palahniuk's stories don't unfold. They hurtle headlong, changing lanes in threes and banging off the guard rails of modern fiction.'' --James Sullivan, San Francisco Chronicle Review Palahniuk 's stories don t unfold. They hurtle headlong, changing lanes in threes and banging off the guard rails of modern fiction. --James Sullivan

Mehso-so

Meh. The writing was good, but not to my taste. Dark humor for shock value kind of writing. The characters were sensational in the way that tabloid headlines like “WOMAN GIVES BIRTH TO ALIEN BABY WITH TWO HEADS” are sensational. This was basically fucked up people doing fucked up things. There were a couple plot twists, but none of this made the book particularly interesting. It just wasn‘t for me. 2 1/2 stars.

Soubhiville I agree, I didn‘t like this as much as some of his others. 7y
GypsyKat @Soubhiville It was the first one I‘ve read of his, and just based on how I felt about it, I probably won‘t read anything else by him. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y

"When you understand," Brandy says, "that what you're telling is just a story. It isn't happening anymore. When you realize the story you're telling is just words, when you can just crumble it up and throw your past in the trash can," Brandy says, "then we'll figure out who you're going to be."

Suzze What is the REMIX? That book was the first CP I read. 8y
jessicarenee @Suzze he added extra content to the remix and the chapters jump around. So you read the intro and it tells you to jump to chapter 41 then chapter 2 etc. it's awesome 8y
Suzze @jessicarenee Interesting! 8y
