I didn't know what to expect at first. All I knew of The Invisible Man was that he was a horror movie icon from early Hollywood. As I began to read, I was transfixed by the story. I felt a whole range of emotions towards the invisible man and loved H.G. Wells pacing.

It's a mystery that turns into horror. After finishing the novel, I wanted to read it all over again. Indeed, this may be my favorite “classic” novel. The language isn't nearly as difficult as Dickens or Shakespeare. The length is short, and there is a nice pace set throughout.
