Review
The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells was a fascinating read because it combines science fiction with a deep look at how power and isolation can change a person. I enjoyed the suspense and the thought-provoking themes, even though the main character became increasingly unsettling.
Quotes
-
An invisible man is a man of power.

But consider, visibility depends on the action of the visible bodies on light. Either a body absorbs light, or it reflects or refracts it, or does all these things. If it neither reflects nor refracts nor absorbs light, it cannot of itself be visible.

I was invisible, and I was only just beginning to realise the extraordinary advantage my invisibility gave me.
