_ash0_ 's review for:
The Invisible Man
by H.G. Wells
I love Wells. He thinks and writes so well that you cannot find any flaw in his story.
The pace with which the book proceeded was pretty slow. But once I got through one-half of the book, it was very gripping. I just could not put it down. What I liked the most about the book was the way Wells describes what it would be like to become invisible. What things in life does one lose by choosing to become invisible? Also becoming invisible eventually drives him mad and he turns into a homicide. I thought I was not scared when I read the book. But just after reading the book, I slept. And I had a nightmare about this invisible man, so looks like the book did scare me :)
However, I loved the part where he talks about science! As always in a Wells's book, it makes so much of sense.
Something I liked from the book :
"Alone-- it is wonderful how little a man can do alone! To rob a little, to hurt a little, and there is the end."
Ambition - What is the good of pride of place when you cannot appear there? What is the good of the love of the woman when her name must needs be Delilah?
