Invisible
is one of those books
written by a somewhat unknown author and branded by James Patterson to help
sell it. Sorry for the sarcasm but I’ve
read several David Ellis books and find him talented in his own right. Therefore, I find the marketing gimmick manipulative
and even offensive. I recently saw James
Paterson on a morning talk show where he stated he didn’t need to do anything
for the money anymore. So I guess he
thinks he’s being philanthropic by helping promising young writers but for me
his arrogance over shadows his good intentions.
That said Invisible is a
reasonably good thriller and obviously has the David Ellis style. My advice is to read it and forget about how
it was marketed… enough said, maybe too much.
