I liked this a lot more than The Island of Doctor Moreau! I thought the character of the Invisible Man was super cool and interesting. Wells' stories are also super quick to read, at least in my opinion.

The main character just isn't very interesting aside from his invisibility. I understand why it's a classic, but I didn't enjoy reading it.
