The Invisible Man The Invisible Man

Publisher Description

An Apple Books Classic edition.


“Alone-it is wonderful how little a man can do alone! To rob a little, to hurt a little, and there is the end.” What would you do if you were became invisible? Would you use that power for good, or would you become consumed with the freedom it afforded you? Griffin, the antihero of H.G. Wells’ classic novel, definitely belongs to the latter school of thought. A misunderstood genius with albinism, Griffin has suffered taunts and isolation his whole life. As he descends into madness, his plans become far darker than simple revenge on those who have wronged him.


In addition to this creepy novel, H.G. Wells-who is widely seen as the father of science fiction-also wrote The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, and The Island of Doctor Moreau;. Besides killer plots, his work provides chilling insight on human nature. The Invisible Manis a story about cruelty, curiosity, and unfettered power. Read it-and you’ll immediately notice its inescapable influence on modern literature, movies, and comic books.

Great Sci-Fi

Another great sci-fi work by Wells. Very enjoyable and fast paced. Wells explores the themes of invisibility, anger, obsession, community dynamics among others thoroughly and in an engrossing manner.

The Invisible Man Review

SPOILER ALERT
I think this book was a stinking pile of trash. Firstly he was revealed to be invisible way to early so there was no where to go from there and it made quite a boring book, it was like the whole book was the beginning to a story only there wasn’t anything left to do. The whole book I was waiting for the apex and when it came it all happened too fast and suddenly he was dead! There are so many unanswered questions.
Did he intend to kill the guy?
What was he doing with the bottles and why so many?
Where did he put all his money and why did he need it if he was just going to steal everything?
What happened to his Marvel?
This book left me extremely dissatisfied and I think it is a waste of time.
