Summary: Hilmer Ericksson realize's he is invisible, and he dosen't who or how he got hurt. He follows detective Harald Fors, hoping to find some answers to his mysterious disappearance.


When you first purchase this book, the storyline says it's about a boy who is invisible, dosen't know what happened to him, and can't communicate with the outside world. Alright, sound's interesting. However, I started reading and I felt sort of cheated. There was only few paragraphs that he appeared in.

Then it just talks about the investigation. Now, that part of the story is interesting, and it drew me in, despite the fact the character wasn't to involved. As you continue reading, you get a hint of what could have happened, and why. The suspects are those who are skinheads- so basically, you can draw an idea there.

I did like the detective Harald Fors. He had flaws, just like any normal police officer. His character itself, made the story more bearable.

So basically, good plot. But I think we needed to see more of Hilmer's Eriksoson's involvment- more of this inner thoughts, and just basically a better role in the story.

Haha... I hate books like that! Summary sounds great, then the story just totally drags off through another road... agh. This book's summary probably would've sounded interesting to me too.
