A review by theatretenor
The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells

4.0

I was gonna go three stars up until the end. The end was a little more exciting. And then the afterword by whoever Gregory Benford is really sealed it for me. He basically explained that Wells knew he wrote piece of shit character in Griffin (the invisible man) and talked about how and why. And how Griffin was a megalomaniac and really didn’t get any better throughout the whole book and maybe reasons as to why. And that helped me. Cause GOD Griffin is a world-class asshole and an A+ douche canoe. And yes this book is dry as hell a lot of the time, but that’s to be expected. But overall I find I DID enjoy it, surprisingly. The Time Machine made me want to rip my eyeballs out and I had to DNF, but I’d like to try and soldier through it at some point. Onto War of the Worlds and then a reread of The Island of Dr. Moreau.
