Summary: The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
Comment: Awesome sci-fi action and horror novel.

Recently a scientist named Griffin has found a way to turn skin, blood, and tissue invisible. Griffin has checked into a hotel in a small town in Iping. He is a tall man with a shiny pink nose. His head is wrapped in bandages, and he wears a pair of glaring blue glasses. In his room he sits in his chair, smokes his pipe, talks to himself, and does strange experiments. As soon as this man comes to town, weird things begin happening like floating furniture and unexplained robberies. What is this man doing in this small town? Citicens in this town start to hear voices and see doors and windows unlock themselves. Could this man be the cause of the occurrences? This book has many plot twists and surprises. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. While reading this book you want to know what happens next. This book will captivate all readers. The Invisible Man is an extremely exciting book that must be read!

Summary: My favorite book by H.G. Wells
Comment: I have read most of the popular works of H.G. Wells (The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The First Men in the Moon, and The Island of Dr. Moreau) and this was my favorite. The Invisible Man is an entertaining book, but what it really makes you think about is WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU COULD GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING? Is man inherently EVIL, and simply obeys the constraints of society because he is afraid of getting caught, or is man inherently good? This is the question that Wells tries to answer in this book, and you'll find the book well worth the time. I recommend this book to all lovers of good science fiction; enjoy!

Summary: Good - but could have been longer
Comment: 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.
