Invisible Monsters - Pg. 23

"If you have to start with any one detail, it has to be Brandy's hands. Beaded with rings to make them look even bigger, Brandy's hands are enormous. Beaded with rings, as if they could be more obvious, hands are the one part about Brandy Alexander the surgeons couldn't change.

So Brandy doesn't even try and hide her hands." (Palahniuk)

I decided to read yet another Chuck Palahniuk book. I know that writers have a distinct writing style but Chuck's stands out way more than I expected!!! I feel like I'm reading the main character from Survivor but he's in drag playing a female or something. I know that this sounds negative but I like the scenery change of this book and I'm looking forward to seeing where this fiery beginning takes me.

As for the exert, I really think one thing that Chuck is good at is making profound statements about society in casual ways. By even writing that paragraph in his book hes acknowledging how big plastic surgery is in our society and the process people take to change them selves to 'perfection'. It's sad really and I'm interested in seeing what Brandy's story becomes.
