The Girl They Couldn’t See

Blind Spot, Book 1

De: Laurence Dahners

Narrado por: Robin Coppock

This present day sci-fi story is about Roni Buchry, a young multiracial girl with dark skin, blue eyes…and the power of invisibility. She faces discrimination in her school. Her family’s retail business is plagued by an organized crime family that collects “insurance,” often brutally. Roni’s always been extraordinarily good at hiding, first in hide-and-seek as a child and later to avoid embarrassment.

Now, older, she and her brother begin to realize that what she actually has is a form of telepathy. She can’t read other people’s minds, or speak to them silently, or force her thoughts on theirs. All she can do is make other people “not notice” her. At first becoming invisible seems like a great way to hide from bullies—or her old boyfriend—but she slowly begins to realize that this ability will let her do far more. She even begins to wonder if she might be able to do something about the mob family that’s been holding her city in its thrall.

I've rated all his booked five stars until now

First narration was horrible. The narrator had too long of gaps between sentences. I had to speed it up to 1.15, and then the sentences were too quick. But at least it got rid of the gaps. Second, the characters were too timid and too much second-guessing themselves. To timid, not decisive enough. Lastly, all of his books are so good. It was a high bar to live up to.

narration

storyline seemed ok narrator just didn't fit just my opinion though. since I have to write so many words

lays evenerything way to thick

this author writes good, but everything is so cliche. i feel he rushes his works and just writes something that sounds good. gangsters who kills in broad daylight, on cameras, and have no fear of doing this, and usualy for no reason. mcs with overpowered abilities just stumbling around. everything is so meh. but there is something very appealing in the way author creates world. maybe someday he will give more thought in his work....
