I'd been planning on reading this for awhile and I finally had it mailed to me two weeks or so ago. It worked out that I could read it right away so I started.
Invincible isn't a bad book. It's unrealistic but a lot of urban fiction is. That part didn't really get to much too much even though I prefer my fiction as realistic as possible usually.
There are some small details that would really have helped the story flow better - the use of more contractions, less exclamation points in character conversations, more slang, etc. I haven't met many street thugs who will speak the following sentence as such, "I will go with you later." To have that one sentence flow better, in a book like this, would be, "I'll go with you later." That one contraction helps immensely. (That sentence isn't take directly from the book.)
There were a few times that I was beginning to get confused but that didn't last long and was usually explained fairly well.
All in all I can say I think Styles P can tell a story. An editor should have caught the things I noticed and it would have turned this into a 4 or 4.5 star book for me.
