Pretty flat and boring for a modern reader, but easy read for a classic, and important for history of sci-fi/Gothic.
Poor cat...
I think I would have dusted everything with flour.
Did you know that flour is highly combustible? :-D

I first came across the name of this book when watching the book thief and I have always wanted to read it since. Overall though, I found the book to be alright. I do enjoy H.G. Wells' plots so I will most likely be reading more of his books.

Understanding that this is a classic, I just didn't vibe with the story beats.

Classic wells - doesn’t just do a funky concept but makes it utterly human. The IM is flawed, morally blind, careless and brilliant. Great fun, great language, and if you ignore the dates societal norms just a good read.
An odd but enjoyable sci-fi classic. Some very “of it’s time” language (the n word, as well as describing someone as a “greasy Jew”) and some really weird choices, like the invisible man sneezing a lot, but overall an interesting and compelling tale of humanity and the corrupting power of a man doing something because he can, without considering whether he should.
3.5/5
No estaba muy a la idea de leer el libro, luego de leer "La máquina del tiempo", del mismo autor, y que me haya resultado tan aburrido. Pero qué bueno que no me dejé estar por esa experiencia porque sin duda "El hombre invisible" lo supera con creces. No sólo en la redacción, y estilo de escritura, que me parece mucho mejor, sino también en la historia en sí.
Fue entretenido de leer, saber toda la historia del hombre invisible y cómo iba el personaje mutando de ser alguien normal, a no tanto. Siendo, el ser invisible, lo menos malo o raro de su persona.
