The Unseen World is probably the best book I have read so far this year. And, I am easily able to add it to my favorites shelf. It is overall a very complete reading experience.
When you start this book, I guarantee you will have no idea what it will become. As it progresses, a wide variety of complex mysteries, interesting relationships, and heart-wrenching storylines combine to keep the reader engaged. This book has no filler and no downtime.
This is one of those books that when it is done I realize I have a longing to really meet these characters and talk to them. For me, I enjoy many books without feeling this so, when it does happen, it is the sign of some great characters and great writing.
Categorically, I could see this fitting into the following categories and might be enjoyed by fans of any of these:
- Young Adult
- Mystery
- Cryptography
- Computer-based Sci-Fi
- Disease-based heart string pullers
- Family Epic
- 20th Century Historical Fiction
- And a couple of others that would be a bit spoiler-ish to mention
Again, it has a lot! Very worth checking out!

Awesome review Matthew!
Oh wow, thanks for the recommendation! This sounds really awesome! I'm going to have to hunt it down!

I read this last year and I was enthralled.
Great review Matthew and thank you for the recommendation! I’m adding this one to my tbr.
Yay, my library had it available, so I'm going to listen as soon as I finish with The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder!

Awesome! Glad you are checking it out. The Good Nurse is a fascinating book as well. Enjoy both!😁

Terrific review, Matthew. I really loved this book as well. Have you read Heft, her earlier book. I loved that one even more.

I loved it and still can remember everything!
I wish Liz Moore had a new novel coming out. I’ve always wanted to JUMP at the book she would write after this one.
I loved..."
Thank you Elyse and Antoinette! I have not read Heft, but based on your comments it sounds like I should. One more for the TBR!😀

Reading it now and I don't want to put it down! My dad passed from Alzheimer's in 2017, so this is having an impact!
Eileen wrote: "Reading it now and I don't want to put it down! My dad passed from Alzheimer's in 2016, so this is having an impact!"Oh, wow! Yes - that would definitely put a more impactful spin on this story for any reader.
The Unseen World is also on my favorites shelf and helped jump start my reading year last March! I'm so glad you loved it. You're completely right - when you're in the beginning you have absolutely no idea where it was going and I was in complete awe of the author when I was finished.

Yeah, a couple of times in the middle I was like, "Oh, wait, where are we going??? Oh, wow! Okay!"
I agree! Great review and recommendation, Matthew.
Started this a few weeks ago. It is a very very slow book. Trending at 2 stars. I am hoping it gets better.

Wow! Awesome review, Matthew. Can’t wait to read this book myself now.

Great review! And now it's on my "To Read" list as well.

Terrific review, Matthew!! Already had this one marked for Mount TBR but now I'm a little more excited having it up there. Had a feeling this might be satisfying on a number of levels.
Wasn't on my radar. Tis now. Thanks!
