Window on the World

Unseen is the most cerebral book I’ve read in a long time.  I guess that makes sense, inasmuch as the main character is a mind reader

There is not a lot of action in this book, but LOTS of description.  It was fascinating to feel like I was inside the brain of a mind reader.

Mackenzie’s inability to block the thoughts of those around her is a handicap instead of an asset throughout her childhood.  I liked how the author compared it to someone with ADD/ADHD.

I thought that some of the revelations Mackenzie discovers as she spends time with the Unseen were a bit predictable, but still disturbing and fascinating.

I don’t want to give away too much, but there is a lot of strong emotion in Unseen, so be prepared to laugh, get angry, cry and smile.  I felt like I needed to take a walk in the “real” world when I finished.

I give Unseen four and a half stars.  It’s a fairly quick read that will suck you in and keep you enthralled until the very last page.  I can’t wait for book two, which promises a little more action and adventure than the first book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for the purpose of review through Promotional Book Tours.  All opinions are 100% my own.
