"To do such a thing would be to transcend magic. And I beheld, unclouded by doubt, a magnificent vision of all that invisibility might mean to a man—the mystery, the power, the freedom. Drawbacks I saw none. You have only to think! And I, a shabby, poverty-struck, hemmed-in demonstrator, teaching fools in a provincial college, might suddenly become—this."



What I loved most were the intriguing and inviting chapter titles, specifically the one called "the furniture that went mad," a favorite of mine. The conversation between Mr. Marvel and the mariner cracks me up. The teasing and humorous dialogue exchange reminds me of [a:William Shakespeare|947|William Shakespeare|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1424313573p2/947.jpg]'s comedies. There's always a scene in the middle of his plays when jokes are exchanged between two silly characters for comic relief; for example, the gravedigger scene in [b:Hamlet|1420|Hamlet|William Shakespeare|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1351051208l/1420._SY75_.jpg|1885548]. Overall I enjoyed the sensational and magical nature of the plot.
