The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells

H.G. Wells' The Invisible Man helped me fall asleep each night. It is about a scientist who was using his invisibility powers for his own selfish use. The book was difficult to follow and bored me to tears.

The characters in the book were either bland or melodramatic. Griffin, also known as the invisible man is a scientist who has come up with a formula to make anything invisible. He robs from his own father and from the inn that he is staying. Griffin also meets a tramp who he makes become his lab assistant by threatening him with his life. It is hinted throughout the book that Griffin is a psychopath.

Also, the setting was extremely confusing. I could tell it was in the boondocks or some other country setting, because the vernacular was terribly hard to follow, and there were many slang words. The author made the setting seem either here nor there. The dialect used made me believe the country where the story took place was European. I could not tell whether the setting was further in the past or recent.

As you can see, i am not a fan of H.G. Wells' writings, and i recommend that you steer clear of this book.
