The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells



This tells the story of Griffin, a scientist who creates a serum to render himself invisible, and his descent into madness that follows.

The book is pretty slim and Griffin spends most of it bullying people!
I didn't really enjoy the story - I found the characters uninteresting. 
The plot lacked any real tension.
Griffin himself didn't inspire fear, loathing or even pity. 
There was lot of effort trying to explain what it would be like to have an invisible man in our midst but this left the plot underdeveloped.  

However, it makes you ask the questions what if we gain what we always wanted , what does think the world of an outsider? what are the consequences of what we do?
