A Clumsy Vehicle for Social Commentary

Revisado: 12-18-15

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The reading of Victoria threw me off. She seemed to decide that her character would take pensive pauses while speaking. This happened throughout the entire book. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there was a pause in every sentence she spoke. She even paused to collect her thoughts when reading. She paused as if... trying to think of... the right word... even when the word was... common.

Was The Visible Man worth the listening time?

Overall, the book was interesting. I enjoy Klosterman's social commentary. The story was interesting enough, even though it was forced. I do not enjoy stories in which the characters have no redeeming qualities. That is why I always bail on the anti-hero television shows that are popular today. Y is an arrogant loser who uses his intelligence to justify completely unacceptable behavior. Victoria is a door mat who does not use her intelligence for any purpose. Everybody is worse off than when the story started. The end.

There was the potential for some statement to be made about surveillance by the NSA and the need for a right to privacy, but if it was intended at all, the author left it as just an inference. I kept feeling like the story would lead me somewhere, but it never did.
