The Invisible Man 3
"The Invisible Man", by H. G. Wells, is about a mysterious man who is very secretive. This story is one of his better books. The reason I chose to read this book is because I love science fiction and fantasy stories. This one, by a very good writer, proved promising as a book I would like. That concept is growing thin with the classics list. The story starts out in the winter at a small railroad station. There a stranger departs into town and ends up at the Coach and Horses Inn and gets a room from the hostess, Mrs. Hall. She is infatuated with the fact that she can't see any portion of his skin. Every part of him is covered up including his eyes by some dark-blue glasses. That night he ate dinner in is room and when Mrs. Hall brought up the food to him she realized that his entire head was covered in bandages. The next day his baggage arrived at the Inn. He went down to get it, but a dog attacked him and he ran back to his room. Mr. Hall, the owner of the Inn, went up to see if the man was hurt. He ran into the room without knocking and was then hit in the chest and pushed out of the room. Later Mrs. Hall saw that the man had unpacked his bags and had some strange apparatus put together. The
Soon there are articles all over the place about robberies all around and Marvel always has enough money to go around. A couple days later Marvel runs into an inn called the Jolly Cricketers with he Invisible Man's three books. He runs into the inn screaming for help and trying to shut the door. A policeman shuts the door and listens to Marvel ramble on about being killed by the Invisible Man. After Marvel rambles on for a bit one of the inn windows suddenly shattered. Marvel manages to sneak out of the inn and into the house of a bearded man. The bearded man gets out a revolver and just at that moment the bar door is broken down and Marvel was dragged into the kitchen. They then heard the Invisible man and Marvel Screaming. Then a cabman was kicked in the gut and fell over and the kitchen door slammed. The next thing you knew the policeman shot five bullets into the direction of a piece of tile that was thrown at him. After he shot they went out into the meadow to look for a body, but they found nothing. Now Griffin wanted to use Kemp's house as a sanctuary while he terrorized the town, but Kemp Thought otherwise. Kemp then tried to keep Griffin there but he got away and a little later Mr. Wicksteed was killed and everyone decided to go on a manhunt for the Invisible Man. The next day Kemp got a note which told him that Griffin planned to kill someone everyday and that he was going to be the first. This obviously scared Kemp a great deal and he ran to Colonel Adye. After a little bit of talking they sent some bloodhounds after Griffin. But Griffin was ready and stole a gun from a police officer and went to Kemp's house. He smashed Kemp's door with an ax but Kemp climbed out the window to the inn and barred up the door. But Griffin got in and struggled with Kemp for a bit and he and another person got a hold of him and another nailed Griffin with a spade. Then they saw Griffins' body materialize and he was dead.
