agnello_11 's review for:
She Is Not Invisible
by Marcus Sedgwick
This was very disappointing. I was really excited to read a book my Marcus Sedgwick because I have wanted to read something by him for a long time. But, this book was just sub par. On the back there were reviews that said She is Not Invisible was gripping and fast paced. It wasn't at all. Sure, it moved at a decent pace, but it wasn't interesting enough to be a page turner.
This also isn't a book you can just jump right into. It's beneficial to read the synopsis because readers learn that Laureth is blind. I took me a couple of chapters to figure that out, and after I learned this valuable fact I read the synopsis. I was just very confused. Also, what kind of a name is Laureth??! I understand the origin as stated in the book, but it's a tad too weird for me. Not to mention some of the different things that happened to the siblings were just weird and a little hard to understand. Just like the dad's notebook was a little hard to understand, but I was able to get the jist.
The plot line was boring and didn't have enough suspense. Now that I've read this I'm wondering if this was one of his first books he wrote. I won't be recommending this to anyone because I didn't particularly like it, but I will say that it is for someone looking for a short and easy read to fulfill a reading goal.
