Summary: Can one face the fade and not succumb to evil?
Comment: Robert Cormier is a compelling author. he never takes the easy road- each story forces the reader to face the inner self. In Fade we confront the idea of what we would do if we could become invisible. Adding the editor with her doubts, balances out the preposterousness of the idea... yet Cormier in telling the story of Paul tells the story of the dark side in each of us. I read this in two days because I wanted to know if Paul could save his successor from the terror her felt when he first learned he could vanish. I would offer this book to any teen I felt was trying to make choices and is wondering about what direction his/or her life will take. Cormier is unflinchingly realistic and knows the cruelty in the world- and his books reflect that but also bring hope.

Summary: Fade
Comment: If you like other books by Cormier, you're sure to like this one too. It is has several different settings and characters, and they take a lot of unexpected turns. Once I started reading, I had trouble putting the book down. Paul is 13 years old when he learns he has inherited the ability to become invisable. But, he soon finds out that it is not as great as it sounds, and that the Fade seems to have a mind of its own. We follow him throughout his first summer with the fade, until the terrible thing happens. Paul vows to never enter the fade again. As an adult, he must track down his nephew, Ozzie, who has just realized his ability to fade. It is up to Paul to stear him away from the evil that comes with the fade. But, will he succeed?
P.S. I would recommend this book for older teenagers. However, it does have some mild sexual content and violence.

Summary: "Every family has its mysteries."
Comment: Fade by Robert Cormier is a great book.
Fade is a book with many different settings and point of views. It begins with Paul who is around the age of 13 when he finds out he has a gift. He is able to become invisible. Then there is Ozzie, Paul's nephew. Who is angry at the world because of his terrible life. After him there is Susan, Paul's distant cousin who finds a manuscript written by Paul about his life and the ways he dealt with "the fade."
Reading the synopsis of this book I thought it would be a good book to read because I've always thought it would be cool if I could become invisible. I know, silly, but I thought about it before. Of course when I thought about things like that I didn't think about the negative aspects and ways that I would most likely abuse the power, but this book reveals all the possibilities if "the fade" were real. I am not surprised that this was such a good book, since Robert Cormier writes amazing books. This book also dealt with a lot of other issues and it was just an all around great book to read.
