This book is amazing. I have read this novel two times. This novel was included in my syllabus when I was in my school. It has the sci-fi master exploring what would happen if a person take an invisibility elixir, and disappear.
The novel starts with a stranger (Griffin) lodging at downtown slum area with a lot of mysterious luggage and apparatus. He attracts attention of the visitors to the lodge and the caretaker investigated the strange activities of the man. To every ones's surprise, he reveals his true identity that he invisible to common eyes. From then, he had to face a lot of problems. But after that, he met Dr Kemp and narrated the whole story about how he had become invisible. Dr Kemp called the police . After a long struggle, he got caught and was killed while he was in his state of invisibility. His invisibility vanishes and his real body appeared back and he was found dead.
It is a beautiful bed time story of horror, clubbed with science fiction.
The modern reader might find the story very primitive and simple, but one should appreciate the author's sight in to science fiction.
I recommend you all that you can read it at least one time.
