![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, she’s exactly right Doug isn’t processing things that happened when he was younger in what anyone would consider a normal way. The protagonist of Invisible, Douglas, is a seventeen-year-old loner who could easily be described as an ‘unreliable narrator.’ Douglas, better known as ‘Doug’ or sometimes (unfortunately) ‘Dougie,’ is obsessed with three things- his friendship with his much more popular best friend Andy, his beautiful classmate Melissa Haverman, who openly hates his guts, and a incredibly intricate model railroad he’s building in his basement.ĭouglas’ fixation with trains (and in particular, model trains) are basically his entire life, his project is all-consuming and his mother worries that he’s not getting out enough and doesn’t have a firm grasp on reality. ![]() ![]() Luckily, the book has some good things going for it and overall I don’t think it was a waste of time to read (of course, being that I finished it in one evening I can’t say I had to put all that much time into it.) Unsurprisingly, that made me less enthusiastic about the book in general, because I had already figured out the single biggest surprise the author would throw at me long before it was revealed. I’m not going to spoil it for you (because I’m not a heartless troll) but let’s just say this: I’m usually terrible at guessing twist endings and I figured this one out less than halfway through. Okay, I saw the twist of this one coming from a mile away. ![]()
