Having just finished a Philosophy course this Summer, this was particularly hilarious. Fast-paced, funny, and witty.

Imagine a man who actually is invisible to someone who doesn't see him, then put him in a room with the woman he has a crush on. What ever you think he might do, well I'd guess again.
Its a fun play about love and how people overlook others. Philosophy is played out in this book in a delightful way, The author makes fun of it, but also uses it to express some inner elements with the main characters. Pay close attention to names in this read.
I actually was able to meet the playwright, and his unique views matched this book really well. If you have the option to read or see the play, it would be a good break from reality with laughter to enjoy the ride.
