I purchased Cellophane the morning after it came out.  I had to wait until my lunch break at work to start reading it.  I couldn't put it down.  P. S. Power has made Penny Cooper move into the spot light in a real way.  Penny's loneliness is so apparent in this book.  She has been isolated for 3 years since she popped and only became able to communicate with others when Brian Yi was the first able to see her.With Penny’s 1st mode of crippling shyness she has to force herself to interact with others.  Because she is invisible she cannot be harmed but at the same time after a conversation with her (because of the invisibility) the individual forgets all about it.  How hard that is on Penny’s self-confidence I don’t think we are truly able to grasp.Penny is a vital and important addition to IPB and will go one to do things that will make it possible for the infected people of her universe to continue on.  She may be an avenging angel in this book but I see more important roles in her life ahead.  Penny may very well be the one that can move past the older infected who are trying to destroy the IPB.Please take the time to read this book.  Also read the other books in the Infected series.  As you go from one to the next an entire world of people who are different become like friends to the reader.  Even the unsavory characters start to become more acceptable after the whole story of their life is evolved.
