I can't remember what this book is about, really, but I remember being very obsessed with it for a while. ( ) I don't know what to say about this book beyond I didn't like it. It was provocative without the same thoughtfulness of Cormier's other work and just felt too sensationalistic in other parts. The Ozzie chapter was upsetting and needlessly violent. My advice is to skip this and read The Chocolate War instead. no reviews | add a review

HTML:IT IS THE summer of 1938 when young Paul Moreaux discovers he can “fade.” First bewildered, then thrilled with the power of invisibility, Paul experiments. But his “gift” soon shows him shocking secrets and drives him toward a chilling act. “Imagine what might happen if Holden Caufield stepped into H. G. Wells’ The Invisible Man, and you’ll have an idea how good Fade is. . . . I was absolutely riveted.”—Stephen King. No library descriptions found. |
