Interesting short story

The concept of invisibility has been the source of much theory and conjecture. If there was a way to bend light or to have a garment (or skin, as in the case of the Invisible Man), be able to reflect all colors of the visible spectrum, it could be used for good or evil. The story deals with the ramification of unique power and the use of that power. In the case of the Invisible Man, the main character is both brilliant and tragic. You find yourself asking what kind of path you would follow had you been in the Invisible Man's place. This was the first of many classic stories by H.G. Wells, and it is worth the read. I did find it a bit shorter than I would have liked, but Wells was never one to waste words. I still liked it, but not as much as his other works.

is a great read

This book seemed to have that classic touch to it. It was one of those brilliant tales of a gifted scientist going mad over his experiments. My favorites.

The Story of an Anti-Hero

The Invis­i­ble Man by H.G. Wells is a sci­ence fic­tion clas­sic writ­ten in 1897. The novella was first seri­al­ized in Pearson’s Weeklythe same year it was published.

Grif­fin is a sci­en­tist who devotes him­self to the field of optics. While work­ing in his research Grif­fin dis­cov­ers that he can change the body’s refrac­tive index to absorbs all light and reflect none, which makes him invisible.

The sci­en­tist uses him­self as his first exper­i­men­ta­tion sub­ject but fails to reverse the process. After his friend betray him, Grif­fin decided to mur­der him and begins his own per­sonal “reign of terror”.

What if what you con­sider a bless­ing is also a curse?
The Invis­i­ble Man by H.G. Wells touches on this very same question.

How many of us wouldn’t like to be invis­i­ble? That’s what the pro­tag­o­nist, Grif­fin, thought when he became invis­i­ble only to find it to be the bane of his exis­tence. Yes, there are some pos­i­tives aspects but H.G. Wells con­cen­trates mostly on the neg­a­tive ones.

I thought Wells did a good job build­ing up the eerie atmos­phere that is promi­nent through­out the story. Actu­ally, the atmos­phere is the star of the book as none of the char­ac­ters res­onated with me and the sto­ry­line, which mainly con­sisted of wreck­ing havoc for havoc’s sake, was not very inspired. The story itself is also quite funny, I thought and many of the scenes played in my mind as slapstick.

How­ever, one could cer­tainly tell that Wells is a mas­ter sto­ry­teller and I find myself engrossed in the story for sev­eral chap­ters (mainly at the begin­ning and end). I also found the period details in the book very interesting.

The Invis­i­ble Man is the ulti­mate story of an insane anti-hero, before insane anti-heroes became pop­u­lar. Grif­fin him­self becomes more and more pathetic as the story progress and from the com­i­cal start Wells moves away to a darker, sub­tle satire of small minds in small towns can be just as dan­ger­ous as any psychopath.

Poor delivery

Delivery took 3 weeks rather than 3 days as promised for a book that I later found on their store shelf. If membership benefits are to include free shipping, and shipping time greatly exceeds their promises, even after emails notifying them of the delay, then membership may not be a wise investment.

This book is very well written and kept me intrested the whole way through. I had read alot of reviews saying how boring it is but it is my personal opinion that this book is very much the opposite of boring. Definetly a great read. :)

The Invisible Man

The Invisible Man starts off a bit slow, but quickly gains speed as the man starts to go insane. This is a thrilling book, full of suspense, and reflects the way society treats people who are different, like the invisible man, even before he turns invisible. I would recommend this book to anyone who can stand the occasional big word and "old-fashiond" language that can be a bit confusing.
