5.0
Having read a majority of his books, I figure I'm a connoisseur of Palahniuk's work and let me tell you, The Invention of Sound has that same sharp sting of his early work with a more nuanced thematic cohesion that comes with writing so much. The concept of sharing emotions and burdens through communal sound is something I was already interested in, so this book could not have come into my life at a better time. Absolutely recommend to anyone who thinks they can handle Chuck Palahniuk at his absolute best
