The Invisible Man
A must read.

pretty boring in the beginning, hoping to be good in the end...

great book

It can be really boring at times, especially with the monologues/flashback. While it does offer some entertainment value, it is not much.

this novel is astonishing it will relate to anyone whom have suffered, that have been the men and women that have been stepped on, spit on and have gotten their soul ripped apart and died. If you read this novel and it relates to you then you are invisible man or women like me an millions apon billions of people in the world we are the most important ones.  

My class read this book and we loved how it challenged us and made us think about what it was saying, it is a must read for anyone of African descent, 5 stars!

I'm shocked that I never had to read this in high-school. Hands-down one of the most interesting internal dramas I've ever read. Its themes range from race to class to politics (especially socialism) and it is unrelentingly depressing. Don't forget your briefcase.

Haunting and dreamlike. Read this a year ago and think of it often.
