Surprisingly funny, and a wildly exciting final act

(I have come back to write a review for this a few weeks later) I really enjoyed this book. It was the perfect balance of science and adventure. I’m really enjoying H.G.Wells’ novels and can’t wait to read more. There’s something quite cosy about them and I can’t explain it.

Fifteen years ago, a student (who never said a word to me) warned me to never read this book. I should have listened. It did get better at the end and I can now claim that I read it.

Lectura ligera, ideal para la playa o la piscina, como ha sido el caso. Los personajes no tienen mucha profundidad, el protagonista es un señor egoísta y que quiere hacer el mal por el mal. Es tan ligero que se me ha hecho algo aburrido y predecible. Sin embargo, creo que fue un precursor de la ciencia ficción en su época y las descripciones y el body horror del final me han gustado mucho.

Nobody stands the test of time. It’s interesting reading H.G Wells to see where the groundwork for most of the sci-fi ideas and concepts we still grapple with today originate. The consistent anti semitism is present to a fault though. I’m realizing that even allegedly progressive authors can’t shed the prejudices of their upbringing.

Un hombre muy enojado se vuelve invisible a costa de cualquier escrúpulo moral, a partir de ahí su vida va en decadencia y al igual que su moral.

Entiendo que es precursor de la ciencia ficción, pero otro libro con una trama parecida pero más desarrollo de personajes (de historia y con una mucho mejor narrativa) es Frankenstein. Mil veces mejor escrita y más interesante.
