Slade House by David Mitchell

This is a sort of prequel/set along side the Bone Clocks,

David Mitchell does his usual thing of writing a few short stories, and linking them together. 
It is a querky ghost story.
It is short.

I didn't enjoy it as much as the Bone Clocks - maybe because the idea was no longer novel.
The first couple of chapters were good but by the end you knew what to expect.

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?
