YES! YES! YES!
When I first got this book and read the back i was not that enthusiastic about reading it. But now it is the night after I finished the book and I am devestated! I loved that book so stinking much! I love Bobby's sarcastic remarks, and the humor and romanc to the story. I'm hoping A.C. will make a sequil to it because I want more! This is a great book for teens.

The best book
It's the best thing I ever read, I think that you can learn how is important to appreciate every second of your life and how a part of the book sais: Not only look at the mirror to remember how you are and that's all. Just.. make me cry.

Perfect For Tweens
THis book tells the story of an 'invisable' boy who meets someone with an 'invisable' world. Together Bobby and Alicia cope with the blankness of the cr@ap and mysteries in life. And with hope and re-newed confidence they find a cure.

Really, really good.
This is by far the best book I have ever read. I stayed up all night reading it. The idea of invisibility seems really cool as a superpower, but if it's thrust upon you like in this book, it's not that great after all. I recommend it for anyone who likes to read, and I think it would be a good book for required school reading.

Cool story!
This is a wonderful novel about a kid who becomes invisible and must overcome himself and get to know a beautiful blind girl. I highly recommend it!

Try it out!
As a person I didn't really care for the book. I thought that he told us he was invisable too many times, but I laughed so hard sometimes it felt that my sides split open. I got through it pretty easy and most of my friends like it. So give it a try because even if you don't like the story line it's really funny. Take my word (or words) for it!

Great! A must-read for Mystery and Romance fans ages 10+!!
I loved this book. It was tottaly amazing. Although, there was mild curses and Bobby walks around naked, but I can understand that because he is invisible. I dont realy care, but I though I'd let curious parents know the down sides to the book. Anyway, throughout the book, I can feel a bond between me and the chararacters. A.C makes the characters in his stories so real, you can connect with them so much. It's a very good book if you're looking for humor, mystery, fiction, or romance books. It makes you wanting to keep reading more and more. Try and put this down once you start reading. I dare you. I read this is 2 days. =) ENJOY THE BOOK!

This book is for teens with a good imagination.
I love the book called, Things Not Seen by the author, Andrew Clement. The book tells a story of a young boy named Bobby Phillips who wakes up one morning and realises that there is something missing in his relefction, himself. READ THIS BOOK. (:

Good book
i love the book it is romantic and an adventur and a mystery all in one book. The only thing that is not my favorite is that he has to go out in public naked but he is invisible so i can understand.

I see you, But you can't see me
I think its the second best book i have read so far. In my opinion, I think it is very interesting. it shows a lot of emotions and feelings. Its also very sad when the parents get in a car crash. I wish i was there in the part when bobby went home by himself .

great book
I've read this book several times. Its a little disturbing that he goes outside naked. There are also bad words like hell but it has a positive message. This is my favorite sci- fi books and thats saying something cause I hate sci-fi.

Not to disagree with anyone BUT...
I hated the book. I'm not a fan of the author, though it is my first book I read of his, but I fell asleep on the first couple a pages. I'm shocked I finished. It was awful in my opinoin. The end was like a firework that fizzled instead of poped. It's nothing I'd recomend.
