Amazing plot. HG Wells has made the concept actually seem possible. The developing madness the invisible man experiences is a driving force, ultimately leading to his demise.

A solid 3.75 stars.
Though this is a very old book (published 1890's), this felt so 'new' compared to some of the latest books i've been reading.
I really enjoyed this, its a story that doesn't take itself too seriously - a propsterous idea with a compelling narrative and the life of an invisible man.
I will definitely be reading more H.G Wells in the future.

I rather enjoyed this story. It kept me interested and thinking. It was fun to think what I would have done in this situation, cuz really, who hasn't ever thought about being invisible?
This book was my first introduction to H.G. Wells and I loved the slow burn of how Wells reveals the reality of the invisible man's appearance (or lack thereof) to both the reader and the other characters. I was not, however, expecting to be as scared of him as the characters are in this book. Overall very clever and very weird.
