I really liked this book. H.G. Wells is an amazing author, I love his style. The words were beautiful and deeply descriptive, and I believe the epilogue was my favorite part of the entire book.

What a narcissitic cruel man! So blinded by his own importance and invention. The character is very well written, I disliked him intensely. And well narrated by Sophie Okonedo. 

“The more I thought it over, Kemp, the more I realised what a helpless absurdity an Invisible Man was—in a cold and dirty climate and a crowded civilised city. Before I made this mad experiment I had dreamt of a thousand advantages. That afternoon it seemed all disappointment. I went over the heads of the things a man reckons desirable. No doubt invisibility made it possible to get them, but it made it impossible to enjoy them when they are got. Ambition—what is the good of pride of place when you cannot appear there? What is the good of the love of woman when her name must needs be Delilah? I have no taste for politics, for the blackguardisms of fame, for philanthropy, for sport. What was I to do? And for this I had become a wrapped-up mystery, a swathed and bandaged caricature of a man!"

Doesn’t worth your time..

Spooky. Reminded me of Dracula. I liked how the narration is restricted to events that witnesses could have recounted.
