Untouchable: A Novel Audiobook

" Sad but powerful book about loss, coping, depression and moving on. David Darby & his son Whitley "The Kid" deal with the loss of a wife and mother in their own way. Darby being self-destructive and The Kid turning inside himself. The bullying that The Kid had to deal with were heartbreaking and anger inducing. I wanted to jump into the story & kick their asses myself. It was also an interesting look into the business of cleaning up death scenes and the affect it has on the workers. Awesome book. "

" A son deals with the loss of his mother by not speaking. A father deals with the loss of his wife by not dealing with it. This can't go on forever, and things start spiraling out of control as they separately fall deeper into their own despair. A powerful story of two people trying to find a semblance of normalcy in their abnormal lives. "

" Whoa. This book was emotionally draining and yet at the same time, very difficult to stop reading. The main characters are a father and his sixth grade son. I hate to think that the brutality the boy endures by classmates is remotely possible in today's schools, but I imagine it is probably true. The two of them are at a pivotal point in their lives and the reader really doesn't know until the end how they will survive it all. Very good, very sad. "

" This would be a really good book if there were not so many unresolved issues at the end. "

" I was torn between three and four stars for this book. For me, it definitely ended stronger than it started. Perhaps I was wary at the start because I had read the reviews calling the story "bleak" and "dark". While the story definitely was those things, there was far more hope in the story than I expected. Ultimately, that thread of hope pulled me through the story and kept me wanting to read to the end. "

" I liked this book, but I don't know why. The writing was very good - but it was so dark. "

" It took me weeks to get through this book as I thought it would get better. I finished the book but I still have no clue what it was about. Not one of my favorites "

" Sticks with you for a while. Sad. "

" Very hard to read.. U are never surevhowvthe paragraphs jump from one character to another. I could feel the building of avresolution but when it came I was a bit disappointed. I would not reccomend this read. "

" quick, easy read & a an overall good book. "

" Very choppy read. Did not really enjoy this writers style. Also wished for deeper characters. Felt like they had no substance. Interesting storyline but scary when thinking about kids and bullies. "

" Free Friday Nook Book. Weird, but interesting. "

" Dark, heartbreaking, well-crafted "

" Very well written but sooooo sad and depressing! "

" The author is definitely unique because the writing style reminds me of older classic novels with extreme symbolism. I guess if I knew the book was going to be so dark, I wouldn't have chosen it. Couldn't there be one stroke of good luck in these characters lives? "

" A sad book about sad people in sad situations. Well written, but dark. "

" Another Free Friday selection from B&N. It was interesting enough to keep me reading but I very much felt the end was anticlimactic. I thought it was rushed, as if the author got tired of writing the story. Not a story I would buy and read again. "

" This book is a bit oddly written and very depressing, but also somewhat uplifting. I really liked the son and you want to read to see what happens. It is a hard book to recommend because it is pretty dark, but I found that I enjoyed reading it. "

" This book had the potential to be really good. It wasn't though. I was especially disappointed in the ending, or rather thereof. Maybe that was the point, but I didn't really care for it. "

" Would have given it 3 1/2 stars if I could. "

" another free nook download.....second one wasn't a charm either. This was okay I guess, very depressing without any literary merit. I didn't particularly care for the characters and I didn't like the formatting of the story. "

" Brilliant. Impossible to put down. "

" Confusing...a waste of time. "

" Sad but so effective. "

" Interesting read with an interesting, different cast of characters. It was definitely heavy in parts, lots of death, including suicide. "
