A review by makbeta
The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
3.0
I think the description should be: A sociopathic scientist gets obsessed with physics and renders himself invisible. This boost in power further exposes the flaws in a man's personality.
I found the beginning of the story a bit disjointed, as the author starts in the middle and then midway goes back and explains how the man became invisible. The story is not very long and while not enthralling still captures the attention. I think the powerful part of this book is the underlying social commentary:
* power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely
* beware of how much power you grant sociopaths and psychopaths
