Men would rather turn themselves invisible and go on a reign of terror than go to therapy 😔
To borrow H.G. Wells own words, this book was strange and terrible... and a little dissappointing. I always thought that being invisible would be one hell of a superpower. However, Wells brought all the gruesome reality of being invisible to the fore. What a horrible protaganist Griffin was...more antagonist really.
An honest classic. Perhaps not my favorite among those in the genre from the time period, but still good.
In hindsight, I should have read Emerson's Invisible Man instead
