Summary
A mysterious stranger in a long-sleeved coat, with a bandaged face and wide-brimmed hat, arrives in a small English village. But his incongruous appearance is nothing compared to the secret of the clandestine experiments he is undertaking...With his face swaddled in bandages, his eyes hidden behind dark glasses and his hands covered even indoors, Griffin - the new guest at The Coach and Horses - is at first assumed to be a shy accident-victim. But the true reason for his disguise is far more chilling: he has developed a process that has made him invisible, and is locked in a struggle to discover the antidote. Forced from the village and driven to murder, he seeks the aid of his old friend Kemp. The horror of his fate has affected his mind, however - and when Kemp refuses to help, Griffin resolves to wreak his revenge.

Interesting concept but slow story
Like most classics of its time, it is rather slow. But easy to read, and reminded me a little of Frankenstein.
I am glad to now know what this classic is about.

Very chilling! Well narrated
I didn't realise it would be so chilling! The narrator was great and the story original.

H.G.Wells at his very best!
This is my favourite H.G. Wells novel. It is more horror than science fiction and so stimulates the imagination appropriately.

Well, it is a classic
HG Wells is a national institution, but the book and the way it's read live up to this. Good use of accents with the narration.

A great story by H. G. Wells
The Invisible Man is a brilliant story of a man who turns himself invisible and goes mad in the process. This is superbly narrated by John Banks but once again Audible does not put the titles in the chapter section.

This story has stood the test of time
Despite being written in the late 1890s, this story has all the modern reader could need. Well narrated too.

Great Story - Poorly Read
Love the Story. Had read it myself years ago and enjoyed it as much a second time.
Narrator had an odd pronunciation of some words, irregular pacing, and the accents weren't convincing. Found myself wincing at times because of it.
