Rating:  Summary: good writing props weak story Review: MacGregor is a good writer-- she can best be described as a leaner, New Age Dean Koontz. Unfortunately, her story is a fuzzy feel-good formula that could have benefitted from some solid background detail-- some more insight into government experiments on invisibility, whether scientific or pseudo-scientific, would have helped a lot. And for all their expertise and high-tech gadgetry, the government agents are remarkably inept and slow-witted-- a little research into special forces training and government secrecy would have helped a lot here. So if you're looking for believable characters and exciting chases, by all means read this novel.Just don't examine the plot too closely.

Rating:  Summary: Absolutely Captivating Review: Out of sight can be summed up in sever single words such as Suspensful,Intriguing,Mystical,Humorus,Provoking and even Romantic. I couldn't put the book down. It was the first book I have read by T.J. MacGregor but it won't be the last. Never a dull moment. Never once did I have to force myself to turn the next page in hopes that the story would pick up. I read it in 2 days and I work full time and I am a full time single mom.

Rating:  Summary: Moves fast. Review: T.J. MacGregor won this year's Edgar for best Paperback Original with "Out of Sight." More of a SciFi/X-Files type, rather than a mystery read to me...but quite entertaining none the less. Being a sucker for all government conspiracy theories, I was hooked from the start. A shadow national security organization is funding a "mad scientist" type who has perfected a process that can render people invisible. One invisible subject escapes and three more are zapped by accident. Their quest to bring down the covert project while being hunted by the shadow organization's thugs is classic cat and mouse. Some great characters on both sides...extremely fast paced...superb South Florida settings. A bit too long, but with a suspension of disbelief, this is big fun.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Read Review: This book was an excellent adventurous read. Not since John Grisham's "The Firm" have I been unable to put down a book. I just had to find out what happened next. Keep up the good work! I plan on reading more works by the author. I highly recommend!
