Between the groaning and visibly distended intestines, it would have been Problem Solved within two days. If placed strategically around the village, they could have had Griffin backed up and praying for prunes in no time. Yeah, so all they had to do was get a big cauldron ( or Fry-Daddy) bubbling with oil, and then cook up a shit ton of mozzarella sticks. Ha! I'll bet those assholes at MENSA are totally rethinking that rejection letter now. And if it did remain visible, that meant his Kryptonite could quite literally be cheese! Which led me to spend quite a bit of my afternoon thinking about whether or not you could see his poop moving through his intestines. One thing I found interesting was that until his body absorbed food, it remained visible. He tested it out on a cat, and it sorta worked. So, Griffin (that's the Invisible Man's name) discovers a magic not magic formula that allows his molecules to have fewer surfaces for light to refract off, and if he combines that with electrocuting not electrocuting himself with some sort of a radio wave contraption, he will become invisible. Mother Nature will not bend to your nefarious whims! Turn on the Weather Channel next time, moron. As every Mad Scientist will tell you, you've got to plan ahead. Really, dude? Really? Winter is not kind to naked folks. his end? Well, I'm guessing his dick & balls hadn't permanently retreated into his body before he became the World's Meanest Nudist. Although, if I had to point out one major difference between his beginning vs. He was a world class douchebag long before embarking on his experiment to become see-through. When I first started reading, I assumed that The Invisible Man would be about a guy who was slowly driven mad by this unusual condition. Read # 2 again before you correct my review. But Wells seemed to think his fellow countrymen would be a bit too inept to toss a sheet over this shivering bastard and punch him in the throat.ġ) There may be spoilers for this 100+ year old book in the review.Ģ) Only comment if you have a WORKING sense of humor.ģ) Seriously. To be quite honest, I expected a bit more from the people who fended off the Nazis for years. This is the story of how one angry, naked, sneezing albino managed to terrorize the English countryside. Wells and Jules Verne are each sometimes referred to as "The Fathers of Science Fiction". He is best-remembered as an early writer of science fiction and futurism. Wells used his international fame to promote his favorite causes, including the prevention of war, and was received by government officials around the world. Although Wells toyed briefly with the idea of a "divine will" in his book, God the Invisible King (1917), it was a temporary aberration. One of his booklets was Crux Ansata, An Indictment of the Roman Catholic Church. His 100 books included many novels, as well as nonfiction, such as A Modern Utopia (1905), The Outline of History (1920), A Short History of the World (1922), The Shape of Things to Come (1933), and The Work, Wealth and Happiness of Mankind (1932). A one-time member of the Fabian Society, Wells sought active change. He continued to openly have extra-marital liaisons, most famously with Margaret Sanger, and a ten-year relationship with the author Rebecca West, who had one of his two out-of-wedlock children. Although his second marriage was lasting and produced two sons, Wells was an unabashed advocate of free (as opposed to "indiscriminate") love. Wells created a mild scandal when he divorced his cousin to marry one of his best students, Amy Catherine Robbins. Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). After marrying his cousin, Isabel, Wells began to supplement his teaching salary with short stories and freelance articles, then books, including The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Dr. Wells earned his bachelor of science and doctor of science degrees at the University of London. Wells earned a government scholarship in 1884, to study biology under Thomas Henry Huxley at the Normal School of Science. The headmaster of Midhurst Grammar School, where he had spent a year, arranged for him to return as an "usher," or student teacher. Young Wells received a spotty education, interrupted by several illnesses and family difficulties, and became a draper's apprentice as a teenager. Herbert George Wells was born to a working class family in Kent, England.
