Why does the stranger, who comes into the inn, wear bandages? Did he get hurt in an accident? Maybe, there was some other reason to it. H.G. Wells's Invisible Man astonished me with how different the dialogue is from that of our time.
The author had an eloquent writing style. He wrote in a way that seemed he had experienced the story first hand. The style gives a senses of the place of wher its set, by how people talk. The narrator's voice is that of someonewho has witnessed a little, too much anger. The style differs from other books, I have read because most books I read are written in an easier to understand style.
The plot begins. This stranger comes into a vicarage in Iping. Mrs. Hall senses him as strange. The stranger has bandages on his face, and always stays covered up. The vicarage is robbed. When the vicars go into the room where the noise is coming from, there appears to be no one in there. Also no one appeared to be in the stranger's room. The stranger started reeking havock, as the invisible man. He got Mr. Marvel to be his confederate. Some shooting occured at his next stop.
This book connects with Things Not Seen, another book, because the boy in that book becomes invisible.The boy in that book also has to cover up when going out, like the stranger. The book connects to me because sometimes I can have anger issues.
I recommend this book to those up to the challenge of reading a story straight from the late 1800's. The book had good points and bad points. The book does not need to be read by those who cannot understand big words.
