4.25 stars. An evil scientist takes his experiment a little too far and reigns terror over a small town. With the themes of corruption, isolation, betrayal, and power, there is much to ponder about while reading this book.

I had never realized just how short of a story this is. It's told in a style that isn't linear, so you don't hear the "beginning" of the story until later on. I found the psychological impacts of being invisible interesting, but the voice was a tad boring at times. The Invisible Man's interactions with others is by far the best part of the story, and is just the right amount of ridiculousness.
