Hi guys! Sorry for the late post, but I am back with another book review. This is called The Visible Man by Chuck Klosterman. I first saw this book while browsing the Champaign Public Library, and saw the interesting cover and name on display. I looked at the book's small description and was immediately invested in the story. I am yet to finish the book, even though I have been reading it for quite some time now, because I have been quite busy. I took a long break from it, but am exited to continue reading it as the summer season begins.
This novel takes place from the point of view of a therapist named Victoria Vick. Victoria is an ordinary therapist until she is met with a strange man who has come to share his experiences with a so-called invisible man. He claims that he is a man who has stolen technology from a lab that allows him to become invisible and observe people's everyday lives. At first, Victoria observes that the man is delusional with made-up stories. However, after multiple sessions with the man, his stories are starting to seem a little too real. Questioning the credibility of the man's experiences, she slowly becomes obsessed with the case, so much so that even her own life is affected by it. Her career, marriage life, and even personality slowly shaped around the case, and she slowly falls deeper and deeper into this inescapable rabbit hole.
I personally am really enjoying this book so far, and dig the captivating yet unsettling plot of the story. This book is also really interesting because of the way it is formatted. The beginning is written almost every time, an email or therapy session notes about her clients, which makes it really interesting to read. As the story goes on, the story slightly shifts with the unexpected turn of events, with the experiences of her main client, Y___ (client name). I really recommend this book to anyone who likes these kinds of stories with an unsettling vibe to them, and cannot wait to see how this ending turns out! I truly thank everyone who has read and commented on my blogs so far, and wish for many more memories!
