Really don't waste your time. Great idea for a book but not a great book.

Boring, pointless and pretentious. How on earth this could be shortlisted for R&J when there are some many far superior books to choose from is beyond me. Dont even bother thinking the book will get better - it doesn't!

Like many readers here, I found this book a real struggle to read. I really wanted to read it and enjoy it, and because of this I kept persevering until the end. However, I had great difficulty in following the plot and often lost interest. It was definitely, not for me one of the 'just cant put it down' novels. Yes, I agree the author uses lovely, almost poetic prose but reading it was so much hard work that it almost felt like I had to study it to follow the plot. Not an enjoyable read at all!

I should know better books up for nomination like this are usually like Oscar winning Movies-The only way you can get people to pay to read or watch them.
I was bored stiff from page 1 but I have an awful compulsion to finish a book once I have started it.
Luckily I can speed read & have a pile of really good books waiting to be read,Who pays Richard & Judy to pick up most of the worst books ever written & try & turn them into something good.
1st & last time you'll find me buying anything they recommend-now off to try and read a few more chapters,it has to finish SOON!
26/04/2008 I have finally finisned the ordeal, the final chapter was good but in my mind cut out all the ice,wind & falling leaves & you will have a good short story.!
 a wonderful new author!! April 15, 2008

I picked up The Visible World by Mark Slouka,and I had not expected it to be much more than a semi-interesting read. However, with every page turn, I became more and more attached to the novel, and actually found it very difficult to put the book down. Since reading this book, I have highly recommended it to all my girlfriends. It's a beautiful story about life, love and friendship filled with excitement, heartbreak and hope!! The Visible World is a wonderful novel by a wonderful new author!! I'd also recommend another wonderful new author - Tino Georgiou and his bestselling novel - The Fates - if you haven't read it yet!!
