The invisible man himself is so twisted, and petty. A really fun read.
Out of all the HG Well’s I’ve read this one was buy far the most captivating. The story was interesting and kept me interested from start to finish, Wells definitely put some thought into what it would be like being invisible.

Çok uzun zamandır okunmayı bekleyen ama her okuduğumda nedense devam ettiremediğim bir kitaptı ve sonunda okuyabildiğim için mutluyum. Tahmin ettiğim gibi olmadı ama görünmezliğin hep güzel bir şey olduğunu düşünen bizler için aslında her şeyi detaylıca düşünmediğimizi ve o kadar da güzel bir yanı olmadığını gösteren bir kurguydu. Özellikle de bencil ve öfke sorunu olan bir görünmezsek...Sonunu beğendim. Baş karakter Griffin'in hak ettiği sondu kesinlikle.

This fairly short novel was obviously written a long time ago but feels like the precursor to a Marvel movie. The prose is of course a little dated but it is still easy to read.
A bit slow to get started, but finished strongly. Surprisingly funny. There's a bit of social commentary thrown in about being unseen, having power, feeling ignored, and disconnection.
It deserves a straight remake with modern cgi, but I'm sure they would try to make him a hero.

A classic novella. I appreciate H.G. Wells' contribution to the field of science fiction. However, like with many Dickens novels, it was obvious that the text was written for serialized publication (each chapter published in a newspaper each week). Many chapters contributed nothing to character or plot development. Also, some anti-Semitism was apparent.
