The Visible Man: A Novel Audiobook

" I used to think being invisible would be awesome. Now, not so much. "

" It thrilled quite fairly and entertained nicely. Some parts of the novel conveyed interesting parallels to Elie Wiesel's "A Mad Desire to Dance." "

" This book is pretty hilarious and not just a little unnerving. While the actual story being told is crazy, I am almost more impressed by Klosterman's ability to voice a rather sedentary middle aged woman - so lifelike. "

" I thought that this book was incredibly interesting. I think I prefer it to his first novel, but more for its peculiarity than for the actual writing. In fact, I think this novel will stay with me for awhile, because it is so weird and borderline disturbing. "

" I loved it. As a therapist it intrigued me to read about a person so caught up in an obsessional thought; or was it? "

" Really engaging book with a lot of interesting discussion. I absolutely loved it, but was definitely underwhelmed by the ending. Very anti-climatic. "

" This book surprised me and became quite a page-turner... it was pretty close to earning that 4th star, but overall I'm not convinced it will be memorable for me a year from now. The plot is a bit odd, but it is a plot which allows Klosterman to creatively include his typical social/cultural commentaries in a unique style. I imagine that he really enjoyed letting his mind run wild. I'd recommend this book as a pretty quick and entertaining read for anyone who is already a fan of Chuck. "

" This is my second time through. Looking for loopholes! "

" The book showed potential, but never got anywhere for me. There were a series of build ups that ended up flat. "

" enjoyable. fast read. I'm not gonna overanalyze it. y'know. there were a lot of little quotable insights, too. like he built a novel around some amazing tweets. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Suspenseful and a little creepy but not too much! "

" Really enjoyed this.....but, I really love Klosterman...always have. His pop culture references are always interesting and funny. He makes me think about what you would think would be insignificant things. Great read! "

" 2nd best book of the year ! "

" A fun book with some interesting observations about identity and privacy. "

" I like Klosterman a lot -this story is super strange but I enjoy the oddness of this author "

" Not his best work, less funny considering the somewhat creepy subject, but still insightful as always. And the questions it raises about voyeurism, identity and self-awareness could feed discussions and reflections well after its short page count. "

" Unique book with an interesting premise. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. "

" Ingenious structure and perfectly paced. Even the philosophical navel-gazing held my interest (most of the time) because the visible man is such a compelling character. Klosterman is deft. I read a chapter of the book on the blog, "Grantland," and was hooked. "

" I was bored with the therapist's personal life/issues and more interested in the people who the Visible Man was spying on (we didnt get quite enough of that). Overall an interesting read. "

" Enjoyable but not his best effort. "

" Cute premise of the invisible man in therapy that started off pretty bland but grew more interesting towards the climax. Disposable but not reprehensible. "

" As with CK's other "novel", this is mostly another forum for his ideas and views on pop culture and modern living. Still a good read but don't expect a whole lot in the way of plot or character development "

" fantastic- Klosterman's ability to grip you with his science fictional social commentary is inhuman. "

" I thought that this book was incredibly interesting. I think I prefer it to his first novel, but more for its peculiarity than for the actual writing. In fact, I think this novel will stay with me for awhile, because it is so weird and borderline disturbing. "

" Intriguing idea for a book but I just couldn't get into it at all. "

" only halfway through - astonishing - mindblowing, best thing I've read this year so far "

" I found this exciting to read. I like glimpses into the lives of ordinary people and this provided a fictional account of what that would be like. It made me wish I had a suit that made me invisible! And as always, I enjoy Klosterman's writing and sense of humor. "

" Chuck Klosterman is standing on the corner where pop culture and pop psychology intersect secretly analyzing all who walk past. "
