When the dark stranger enters the village pub, muffled up to the chin, with hat, dark glasses and bandaged head, the narrow-minded locals are intimidated and suspicious. The mysterious man is a brash young scientist named Griffin who, in the course of his own experiments on himself, has become invisible--and criminally insane. Hounded out of town by villagers who discover his dark secret, Griffin's malice and invisibility prove a lethal combination.

The UNABRIDGED Invisible Man,
By Quintus Rex "Quintus Rex" (Princeton, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Invisible Man (Classic, 20th-Century, Audio) (Audio Cassette)
This Penguin Classics audiobook is actually a three-hour, two cassette UNabridged presentation of Wells' novel, despite Amazon's listing of it as "abridged".Paul Shelly gives an excellent reading. His narration is eloquent and melodious, and his remarkable voice talent captures the individual essence and quirks of each character. This rendition preserves every bit of the suspense and drama of Wells' classic moral tale of science without scruples, and it bears up well under repeated listening. I keep my copy in the car, and at times it has left me reluctant to arrive at my destination. Very highly recommended.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Invisible Man (Classic, 20th-Century, Audio) (Audio Cassette)
The Invisible Man is a classic science fiction novel, having an incredibly strong plot and being written in a way that utilizes it to the utmost. Through suspense and conclusion it keeps you thinking and, of course, wanting to complete it. It was hard to put down to go to bed.
