Visibility

Summary: Awesome
Review: Being a big fan of Sarah's work, I picked up a copy of VISIBILITY, and could not put it down. It completely intrigued me. At first I wasn't sure - it's written in the present tense, and at first I thought, "Oh that's going to be so annoying." But as I began to read -devour- this book, I loved it. The present tense aspect made me feel as though everything was happening for the first time, and there was a sense of urgency to everything that did happen.

I highly recommend this book. It is a great read, and very worthy of space on your bookshelf.

Summary: Wonderful Reading!
Review: Visibility is a fantastic novel. Sarah Neufeld's vividly descriptive writing gives us characters we can know deeply and care about, a plot filled with twists and turns, and blends the supernatural effortlessly with the mundane. Natalie Irving is unusual in that she is the perhaps the most personal and sympathetic character in the story, rare in a main character. In fact, nearly every person we meet is described with such a total understanding of their character, that is seems as if we could meet them on the street. Visibility is a rare example in which the characters don't talk and act like they're in a book, but like real people with unique personalities.

Besides this, our world as portrayed in Visibility feels so realistic and true that one can accept the paranormal aspect of invisibility without a second thought. It is a world without holes or gods from the machine, where choices count and actions have consequences. Visibility has my whole-hearted recommendation.
