On a freezing February day, a stranger emerges from out of the gray to request a room at a local provincial inn. Who is this out-of-season traveler? More confounding is the thick mask of bandages obscuring his face. Why does he disguise himself in this manner and keep himself hidden away in his room?

Aroused by trepidation and curiosity, the local villagers bring it upon themselves to find the answers. What they discover is a man trapped in a terror of his own creation, and a chilling reflection of the unsolvable mysteries of their own souls.

In the tradition of Mary Shelley�s Frankenstein comes another undisputed classic of science fiction and horror to stir the imagination and conscience.

I was always curious about this classic. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed. I thought there would be more to the story. It was a good read, but I expected more.

Always wanted to read this

Being a fan of both H.G. Wells and his books my expectations were high when it came to who was reading the book to me. I expected distinction between X character to be different from Y character and that's what I got. James Adams makes The Invisible man sounds just like I thought he would with multiple changes in his voice as he becomes more and more power hungry. As far as who I think this book, rather this narration is for I'd have to say for people who want to feel like they're in England with all the different characters. Good Luck, my fellow classic book lovers!

My hopes were not for naught

Entertaining and narration was very well done. This story was first published in1897! I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.

An old classic well done

maybe this story was the first of it's kind. in any case, it just isn't that good. the dialog stinks. all in all, I give the invisible man a C.

Aside from the switching from active to passive voice I really enjoyed this book! Reminded me of Frankenstein. Seriously, what is it with these guys getting god complexes?

Fabulous Suspense Tale

I love this tale. I don't think I have ever read it before, but I can say that no longer. I really like the style of writing from that time period. So different from our time. Elegant in the description and in the way aspects of the story are left for the reader to make out. There is nothing scary in this book for me in the way that other books are in your face. There is a subtle thrill to the idea of a person working on something so drastic and then falling into madness as the possibilities take over his mind. Great stuff, really.

By today's standards this story is not particularly horrifying, but the narrator does an excellent job - especially in voicing all the characters - and he keeps the story interesting until the end. He truly is a fabulous and versatile reader!

Classic Story Told Well
