The Intangible by C.J. Washington
4.0
I chose this book as my Prime First Read selection because what better way to try a new author than with a free book and also because the story sounded intriguing.
For the most part I really enjoyed this story. The story itself is very interesting and the characters are complex and their lives complicated. The story being told from four perspectives made it seem more personal as I got to know each character and how they got to where they are in the story.
The one issue I had with the book was all the math and neuroscience talk. Sometimes it felt like the story was bogged down with Marissa's math and Patrick's neuroscience explanations. I'm thinking the average person won't understand a lot of what is being told in those pages and a simpler explanation in layperson terms would have been sufficient.
All in all this was a good read and I would read more from this author. He has a way of creating characters and telling a story that kept my attention.
