The Invisible Man

Summary: How much can you identify with the main character?
Review: In The Invisible Man, the reader is confronted with a man, Griffin, who does not care about society as a whole, but is prepared to give up the only lifestyle he has ever known--a respectable college professor--to become a criminal. He does this by making himself invisible. Griffin's blatant disregard for his fellow humans and their emotions give the reader a chilling look into the mind of a once-sane man who has been turned evil by his own greed and curiosity. This book raises ethical questions that force a person to think for themselves about breaking the law. It is one of the few books that force the reader to identify with the antagonist. Or is he really the protagonist?

Summary: Classic Science Fiction
Review: In this classic by H.G. Wells, a scientist has turned himself invisible and now just seeks food, clothing, and shelter from the cold. The power that he has received from his invisibility combined with his arrogance drives him to want more and more, until he reaches a level of insanity.
H.G. Well's makes this man a stranger to those around him, and does not portray his character very sympathetically. He uses the science fiction genre also in a unique way, by not creating a world with cultures and lifestyles changed by technology over time, but a small town effected by sudden exposure to a man changed by science. Plus, Wells uses ordinary scenes and transforms them by having his characters convey unexpected actions and reactions.
Wells 19th century English seems outdated, but dosen't keep the reader from enjoying the great adventure.

Summary: ok
Review: it was pretty good- as scientist finds sumthing to make himself invisible but that backfires on him even though he thought he could get away with it.

Summary: Good - but could have been longer
Review: Like other books by Wells, this one is exciting and fun to read. He takes the reader on a fun ride as long as the reader can suspend their disbelief about the little bit of science that is discussed. The book does a good job describing Griffin and his motives. As the villian, the stories of Griffin are entertaining but also show the dangers of science when used by the wrong hands. My only negative comment about the book was that I enjoyed the stories of the invisible man so much, I would have liked there to have been more stories of his mischief. Overall, the book was a quick read, entertaining, and thought-provoking.

Summary: Interesting testimony
Review: The book is boring. The idea is wonderful, to become invisible is the worst of nightmares, but that's all. It is not science fiction, it's a moral tale about good and evil, very conservative and sometimes dull. It's interesting to see that in Well's era things were so diferent. Now, an invible man would be powerful just as it is in eality.

Summary: It was OK.
Review: The Invisible Man was neither bad nor good. I never really got into the story and some parts were just plain confusing, but it's probably just me. Give it a chance, maybe you'll enjoy it.
