The Invisible Man: A Grotesque Romance, by H.G. Wells
2.0
To be honest, I have read algebra textbooks as engaging as this. The book is just boring. It’s 90% dialogue and it felt like, as a reader, I was kind of just doing a flyover of the plot and felt no immersion at all. The main thing that motivated me to finish is the fact that it’s only ~140 pages.
Obviously, I see the clear influence this book has had on modern thrillers and I genuinely can see how someone would love this book. I would never deter someone from reading it. It’s just definitely not for me. Which is a shame because the concept really does seem fun in theory. It just wasn’t fun in execution.
