I had almost given up on any Patterson book except the Cross series. Even began to get a little concerned with that one until the last two returned to the unusual Patterson attention grabbing format. The remainder of his books, characters etc. just seemed to fizzle as the pages turned. I decided, after seeing a tv commercial for this book, that I would give Jimmy one final chance to grab my money and my following. I am certainly glad I gave in! Invisible is without a doubt one of the best drama, suspense novels I've read in quite awhile. I read perhaps six novels a month, mostly major name authors, crime, suspense, mystery, etc.and I enjoy being held in suspense until the last minute. But not only did Invisible hide conclusions until the last few pages, it actually showed the answers as you turned page after final page drawing conclusions you realized you should have made chapters prior if you hadn't been looking at the wrong new character! Hats off James! Terrific job...Again!

Best Book of James Patterson
I started reading it today when it came out and finished it in just a couple of hours. Amazing story, very fast-paced, exciting and oh-my-gosh I'm lost for words, JUST READ IT!

Finally a James Patterson book that was like him when he first started writing. I don't know if it was the help of David Ellis but it was a good fast pace & dark book. I had physically make myself put the book down so I didn't finish it in one day. Such a good book. And I am definitely considering looking at David Ellis and his books as well.
It was such a great story even the characters had more depth in them.

Invisible is a thrilling and fast read. Very entertaining.

Finally an unpredictable ending!!! This book was a fast read with lots of twists and turns. The only down side was the annoying character- Emmy; without giving too much away she was more trouble than she was worth! Great story, it is nice to see something refreshing from JP.

Well-written, another exceptional book by James Patterson!

Finally a good read
Thought all was lost
Could have stood on premise alone and used less gore

I have to say I am thrilled Patterson is back to his old style. I just about gave up on him. Invisible is truly a must read…. I couldn't function until I finished the book. I am so happy I read the reviews on this book and decided to give Patterson another try. I won't give anything away but I thought the characters were well developed and
the story was truly gripping. I look forward to his next book!

Another great read from James Patterson!!

Patterson's recent books have seemed to have a "cookie cutter" approach and a real disappointment to fans of the "old" Patterson. However, this one hit a home run. David Ellis and James Patterson are definitely a match made in heaven. The dialogue was crisp, the plot taking twists and turns and suspenseful. Have recommended it to several "old" Patterson fans.

It has been several years since I have had time to sit down and read a good book. Since I recently retired I ordered Mr. Pattersons Invisible. I loved the book , its one that is difficult to put down. After I completed this book, I ordered the series of 13 books (the women's murder club).I received them four days ago and I just finished the first one. I have found the writer that keeps me interested.

This book restored my faith in James Patterson as I thought his books were getting a little old. There's lots of twists and turns that keep your interest the whole way through.

Invisible is a stand-alone novel by prolific American author, James Patterson. It is (co-) written by David Ellis. When Emily Dockery’s twin sister Marta died in a fire, she refused to believe it was an accident. As an FBI research analyst, she began to research similar fires and became convinced that there was a serial killer on the loose. Unfortunately, no one else agreed: not her boss with his wandering hands; not her ex-fiancé, Harrison (Books) Bookman; not the local police; and not her grieving mother.
Despite being suspended from her job, Emmy continues to gather possible cases. Her last hope is that showing him the files on fifty-three such events over the last twelve months will persuade ex-FBI agent Books to come out of retirement and investigate. She’s pleased when this last-ditch attempt gets an investigation started, even is the task force consists of a team of just four.
The narrative is carried mostly by Emmy, with occasional interspersed chapters which are transcripts of dialogue dictated by the murderer: these come across as rather gimmicky. There is some clever investigative work and an exciting climax with a huge twist, but Emmy, despite her brilliance, indulges in a sort of spoiled brat behaviour that is not endearing. Just an OK read that might appeal to fans of serial killer mysteries.

Kept me guessing right to
the end!

Didn't expect much going into this book( not a great fan of Patterson on the whole), but this changed my mind.
Story draws you in right from the opening. Chapters are a few pages each. They jump between the good guys and the mad man( and this person is really, really twisted).
Great plot. Really enjoyed the ending. Can see this being made into a movie!

I love James Patterson, Im obsessed with Alex Cross and can never really get in to his other books but this one kept me on the edge of my seat. A very suspenseful and unpredictable read. LOVED IT.

NEVER GUESSED WHO IT WAS

My first J Patterson book. Was very good up until 3/4 of the end. There are a couple 'twists' towards the end. The first one is very easy
to figure out. Then the last twist about that person comes up and you don't care about that person at that point in the book. If the author
could have figured out a way to weave it in earlier, maybe would have been better.
For me, the last 'twist' throws of the premise of the first part of the book and the build up of suspense.
Seems like I'm in the minority though so give it a read and see what you think.
