Sad but a story that is probably true.

This is wonderfully written. It's sad but probably true and needs to be told.

Believe.

Dorothy Koomson is back on form!

This story is brilliant. The last few from her have been a bit blah but she's back on form! I couldn't stop listening to this. Performances were really good too.

Excellent story, well read.

What made the experience of listening to When I Was Invisible the most enjoyable?

I've listened to Dorothy Kroomson books before, and I love her style and the way her characters are so believable and have depth. She deals with issues without you feeling like the whole story is about those issues, it is very much about the characters.

What did you like best about this story?

The way the story and characters are still with me. I had to keep listening to find out what was going to happen next.

Which character – as performed by Susy Kane and Sara Powell – was your favourite?

All the characters were performed brilliantly and were very real.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I don't want to give the story away! Very real depictions of how people can end up in situations they didn't imagine.

True Dorothy Koomson's style...

I only removed 1 star for the story because some of it was a bit predictable. However, as usual, very well written and captivating with so much reality to it.

Original and well constructed

Although the story kept me hooked ,the constant time changes became tedious and confusing at times.

Enjoyed, but ......

My first with this novelist. Good, and quite involving, but a bit longer than it needed to be.

I don't review much, but want to because the narrators set my teeth on edge. Staccato delivery that added noting, odd pauses and emphases, little sucks of breath and unnecessary squeaks and whines. I'm making a note because I certainly don't want them to force me to give up on a decent yarn.

Invisible festering scars

I have only give this book 4 stars, but feel I need to explain as this was a excellent book, and I did enjoy it.

The characters are well drawn and the book is about Roni and Nika and how they dealt with the issues that surrounded their youth.

I feel the homelessness issues were covered so well and Ms Koomson has done her research well. However I feel the other issue that this book tackled which was very important to write about had quite a few anomalys that just did not make sense, but it still made a good book.

Lastly the reader for Nika had a lisp, which is not a problem, but took a couple of hours for me to get used to. Its a bit like when you first listen to Johnathon Ross and one listens at the voice rather than to the voice.

With all that said, I will definitely return to a Dorothy Koomson book in the future.

Perfect

I loved this book. I love all Dorothy's books, but this one was one of her best. It was read perfectly, I was gripped from start to finish. I will certainly listen again when I am ultra challenge training... I covered many miles walking while I listened and I hardly noticed where I'd been! Xxx
