The Invisible Man by Malvina G. Vogel, H.G. Wells
3.0

Thought I enjoyed this book and really loved Wells's style, I felt like this was one of his weaker works.

His usage of the unnatural in an everyday world is well done, especially his mentioning of eyelids and clothing. I can't put my finger on what I didn't like - the length, the number of seemingly unnecessary characters, or something else. What I did like was the spookiness, which I somehow didn't expect from the book. Seeing evidences of an invisible man would probably be quite scary, though, and Wells portrays it well.
