The Invisible man follows the trail of an arrogant and selfish man who is too doltish to think of any negatives to being invisible until after he achieves such a state. I’ve been an H.G. Wells fan for years, but strangely enough had not yet read any of his books, until now. A fan of his stories as adapted to film, the ideas, his influence on the science fiction genre. The writing here is a bit old fashioned, as is to be expected, but I found it accessible enough . This was not high brow Literature of the day. Which in my opinion is good thing. The story is interesting enough, although I found it a bit boring in the middle especially, and relatively short. But I have to believe some of wells other stories must be better.
