The Invisible Man - Tor Classics Author:H. G. Wells It began with a quiet country inn -- and a mysterious stranger, his features masked by gloves, dark glasses, and bandages that completely covered his head. Then came weird noises, the disembodied ravings, the phantom robberies, the haunted furniture... — The violence... The rampages... The killing. — An obscure scientist named Griffin had found a ... more »way to turn skin, flesh, blood and bones invisible -- and tried the formula on himself. He could go anywhere; spy; steal; menace anyone. The Invisible Man had only two problems.
He couldn't turn visible again.
And he had gone quite murderously insane.

You have to read the classics - so say I. And this is one of the "modern classics" that you will fly through. Very readable - dark - if you don't know the answer, I won't give it away!
This book wasn't as good as I expected it to be. The pace of the book seemed to fluctuate a lot, so at times I felt like it moved far too slow, and other times I had to reread parts that went really quickly. Still, it's worth reading once or twice.
