The parts that kept my attention were 5/5.
"Antes de realizar ese loco experimento, me había imaginado miles de ventajas; esa tarde, por el contrario, todo eran decepciones. Pensé en las cosas que deseamos; sin duda la invisibilidad permitía conseguirlas, pero impedía disfrutarlas una vez obtenidas. ¿La ambición...? ¿De qué sirve estar orgulloso de un lugar cuando no puedes aparecer en él?"
Uno de esos clásicos que conocemos por la influencia que ha dejado en obras posteriores, pero sin que conozcamos realmente su historia. Lo que más me ha gustado es el punto de vista cambiante: cada capítulo se narra siguiendo los pasos del protagonista invisible desde la perspectiva de alguien que sufre las consecuencias de sus actos.

Listened to thanks to libravox - this one done with a professional reader.
Brilliant physicist discovers way to turn himself invisible. He becomes mad. Difficult to tell whether was mad before the change, but his enormous ego would have been enough to drive him. His temper takes hold of him, and he winds up killing.
Well written. Seems like the inspiration for that Kevin Bacon movie "hollow Man."

Solid, though I was promised more on moral degradation.

This book is over a hundred years old, and it still holds up! Riveting through to the last page!
