A lot longer than it needed to be. I did enjoy the structural choices, using accounts from every character apart from the invisible man, as if it's a compilation of evidence in a police report (although it breaks this structure at the end). If you like reading about characters who abuse science to rob and kill people, this is the book for you. 

I wasn't crazy about the arrangement of the story. I did like considering all the troubles being invisibility would cause (i.e. food still showing when you eat, needing clothes, etc.). I don't know what else to say other than I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to.
adventurous fast-paced

Incluso para estándares de la época en que fue publicado, no deja de ser más que una buena idea mal ejecutada con personajes incongruentes, sobre todo las de Griffin, cuyas acciones no tienen ningún sentido más allá de convertirlo en un monstruo solo porque sí. El villano es malo literalmente porque se necesita que sea malo, no hay trasfondo, no hay "pérdida de humanidad" como he leído en algunas partes, el mismo protagonista ya era así antes de descubrir el secreto de la invisibilidad y mucho antes de hacerse así mismo invisible.

A todas luces, una historia, que aunque corta, mediocre y con una narración aburrida.

Por más clásico que se le consideré, este es un libro nada recomendable.

This was a wild ride from start to finish and I really enjoyed the whole thing. I would love to be in H G Wells' head for just a day to see the sort of brain that can conjure up these stories.

Esta corta novela me pareció entretenida y fácil de leer. La historia nos plantea ciertos cuestionamientos de carácter ético y moral, mostrándonos lo que ocurriría si tuviéramos algún tipo de poder que nos hiciera superiores a los demás y que además de esto, pudiéramos actuar impunemente.

Recomendado para todos los que les gusta el género de la ciencia ficción.
