Okay, so, full disclosure: I thought this was the sci-fi story about the guy and science and he literally turned transparent.
WRONG.
So wrong. So very wrong. Just a book full of racism. But I found myself enjoying the story very much. There were times when I was reading and everything made sense to me. This feeling of manipulation about things that happened before my time (at least more prominently) and the way the races were treated not only by those of a different race, but also those of their own.
The idea of sliding through the world "invisible" while doing what you need to not only survive, but to prove that you can manipulate those around you and have none of the consequences. It reminds me of the Fermata book that I enjoyed so much.
And then you get to the middle of the book...
I am so confused. All of these speeches that seem to last chapters upon chapters at a time... they don't SAY anything. There is no substance whatsoever in ANYTHING they are saying. And people get all riled up and start mobs and stuff, but there's nothing there!
I think it's safe to say I have no idea what this book is supposed to be about. I think I am missing a giant factor here.
So, never believe in anything and become a crazy ranting hermit.
The End.
