Overall, a decent, compelling book, and one that's not afraid to take chances - which, for a YA book, is refreshing in and of itself. I was torn between wanting to be sympathetic - Dougie's obsessive behavior and inability to lie speak to an almost autistic understanding of the world - but clearly Dougie has some major issues that profoundly affect his ability to function in the real world. I'm used to YA protagonists being relatable, or at least someone you're rooting for. END SPOILERHowever, even knowing this, the book is weirdly captivating. are all clues that Andy isn't really there. The mysterious references to an incident at the Tuttle House, the fact no one talks to Andy, etc. to the point I wonder if Hautman did this on purpose. START SPOILER The first twist in the book is almost painfully obvious. Doug spends most of his time building a remarkably detailed train model, talking to Andy, and peeping on his crush, Melissa, who calls him a worm. Invisible tells the story of seventeen-year-old Dougie, a "troubled" young man whose only friend is Andy Morrow.
