Rating: Summary: One of Wells' Best Review: The Invisible Man was a very good, descriptive piece of literature. It had well described fight scenes and scenery. It is one of H.G.Wells' best books. The Invisible Man is about a scientist, named Griffin, who turns himself invisible through a stroke of scientific genius. The only problem is that Griffin doesn't know how to make himself visible again. Though the Invisible Man tries to hide himself in public by wearing bandages all over his body and claiming he was in a bad accident, he is found out anyway. After a while, the Invisible Man goes crazy because of nobody accepting him, people double-crossing him, and his possessions being stolen. He becomes a murderer and tries to become a dictator of a town in the book because he is so powerful.

Rating: Summary: Who Else Could It Be Review: The Invisible Man written by H.G. Wells is a must read science fiction. A scientist who discovers a way to make things invisible and goes ahead and trys it on himself not knowing that he cannot become visible again. He is now able to do anything and not be discovered. His main trouble is trying to keep his destructive reign of terror under control while trying to live a normal life. The Invisible Man is blammed for everything that troubles the small town.My main reason why I liked this short story was how well Wells made the Invisible Man's body completely invisible but not his clothes. Many men who searched for the Invisible Man only saw the clothes he was wearing. A part in the story was, Huxter stuck his hand down the Invisible Man's collar. From the air a voice called out, "I wish you'd keep your fingers out of my eye." Huxter and the other men had know idea. Another reason why I liked this book was the dramatic twist to the ending and because it was totally unexpected. You'll be truly surprised and possibly pleased with the ending. If your a reader who loves suspenseful and unexpected endings I reccommend this book to you.
Rating: Summary: One of H. G. Well's Finest! Review: This book is by far the best science fiction book that I have ever read! H. G. Wells is one of the world best Science Fiction authors ever! This is a must read for any Sci-Fi fan! Overall: Read this book!
Rating: Summary: One of the Most Boring Books in history! Review: This book is extremely boring! There is far too much detail about every little thing that occured in the book. Dr. Kemp, who is a strict man of Science is nothing bu something that makes the book boring. I truly do not like science at all. It is kind of depressing to me, but not to everyone. But, the novel deals with Griffin coming into Iping in some freak costume. I have never read another book that was as hard as this one, or even more so, BORING! Who wants to read a book about Science and all of the minor little details that deal with such and such? I am disappointed!
Rating: Summary: Yawn!! Review: This book was quite boring and didn't make sense in many portions of the book. I was quite disturbed by the inconsistant flow of the book, quite irritating.
Rating: Summary: People forget the touch of humor... Review: Yes, the book is one of the best science-fiction stories H.G. Wells wrote, it is very detailed, with very well formed characters, seems believable (if you don't get too nitpicky) and even the Invisible Man seems interesting to the reader, being smart, yet slightly mad and even unhappy with his new discovery. But let us not forget the humor within the pages - the reactions of the common masses, the problems the Invisible Man has with just dealing with every day life and the fact that he seems to have more problems being invisible than he ever did being visible.
