Introducing the main character after 14 characters as a usual character is nice. A good part is if you start reading this book you may become part of the story. Moving with a story unrevealing twist may give you a good feeling while reading the book.
The story is about a scientist who injects a chemithathich makes optical invisible him to others' eyes, then what are all the problems he faces are nicely portrayed.

After meeting his old friend doctor for helping him he reveals the mistake decision he takes to show him as a negative character but the doctor betrayed him here comes the climax, the invisible character challenge that he would him the doctor, Did he kill the doctor or not otherwise he is arrested is the climax.
Invisible Man is about the process of overcoming deceptions and illusions to reach the truth. (One of the most important truths in the book is that the narrator is invisible to those around him.)
The narrator of Invisible Man is a nameless young black man who moves in the 20th-century United States where reality is surreal and who can survive only through pretense. Because the people he encounters "see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination," he is effectively invisible.

It addresses many of the social and intellectual issues faced by African Americans in the early twentieth century, including black nationalism, the relationship between black identity and Marxism, and the reformist racial policies of Booker T. Washington, as well as issues of individuality and personal identity.
“The Invisible Man” is a true story. When one considers its source material, 1897 a novel by H.G. Wells, this sounds like a wild claim. ... This gives the movie's already well-made scares a core of indelible truth, making the story feel truly real.
The Invisible Man takes shelter in a nearby house that turns out to belong to Dr. Kemp, a former acquaintance from medical school. To Kemp, he reveals his true identity. Griffin is an albino former medical student who left medicine to devote himself to optics.
Griffin tells Kemp the story of how he invented chemicals capable of rendering bodies invisible, which he first tried on a cat, then himself, how he burned down the boarding house he was staying in to cover his tracks, found himself ill-equipped to survive in the open eventually stole some clothing from a theatrical supply shop on Drury Lane, and then headed to Iping to attempt to reverse the invisibility.

Having been driven somewhat unhinged by the procedure and his experiences, he now imagines that he can make Kemp his secret confederate, describing a plan to use his invisibility to terrorize the nation.
Kemp has already denounced Griffin to the local authorities, led by Port Burdock's chief of police, Colonel Adye, and is waiting for help to arrive as he listens to this wild proposal. When Andy and his men arrive at Kemp's house, Griffin fights his way out and the next day leaves a note announcing that Kemp himself will be the first man to be killed in the "Reign of Terror".

Kemp, a cool-headed character, tries to organize a plan to use himself as bait to trap the Invisible Man, but a note that he sends is stolen from his servant by Griffin. During the chase, the invisible Griffin arms himself with an iron bar and kills a pursuer.
Griffin shoots Adye then breaks into Kemp's house. Adye's constables fend him off and Kemp bolts for the town, where the local citizenry comes to his aid. Still obsessed with killing Kemp, Griffin nearly strangles the doctor but he is cornered, seized, and savagely beaten by the enraged mob, his last words a desperate cry for mercy.

Despite Griffin's murderous actions, Kemp urges the mob to stand away and tries to save the life of his assailant, though unsuccessfully. The Invisible Man's battered body gradually becomes visible as he dies, pitiable in the stillness of death. A local policeman shouts to have someone cover Griffin's face with a sheet.
In the epilogue, it is revealed that Marvel has secretly kept Griffin's notes and—with the help of the stolen money—has now become a successful business owner, running the "Invisible Man Inn".

However, when not running his inn, Marvel sits in his office trying to decipher the notes in the hopes of one a day recreating Griffin's work. Because several pages were accidentally washed clean during Marvel's chase of Griffin, and the remaining notes are coded in Greek and Latin, and Marvel has no comprehension of even the basic mathematical symbols he sees in the notes, he is completely incapable of understanding them.
