Memoirs of an Invisible Man

love sterling silver. great for all beaders.

I have just read this book for the second time and it was equally as enjoyable as the first. That was over 30 years ago now, picked up in airport when my plane was delayed and read superfast over the next 12 hours. I think I gave that copy away. I had more time to savour it this time around and I laughed just as hard at the droll humour, especially the sex scene referred to in another review, and as before found myself willing Nick on against the nasties who are out to capture him. It’s a terrific thriller, dripping with suspense, and at the same time a useful practical guide on how to survive if by some stroke of ill luck you are rendered invisible. Unlikely I know, but this time – just in case – I won’t give it away.

I know, the Chevy Chase movie was not nearly as satisfying at this book. and the government of the era portrayed was not nearly as devious as our pre-Obama administration. and yes, I love him, although he has flaws, but we are cooked, stewed, if any more repugs get their Mitts on our lives.at any rate, the narrator of this narrative has such a sense of humor, and what happens to him is a twist of fate, but he manages to inspire the reader with all his tricks (thanks to the writer)What a pity that Saint never authored another epic like this one.If you want to search you might want to read THE SKOOK, by the late J. Miller. A truly great romp in the philosophical and fantasy world where a deep cave and a mystical figure engage the protagonist.

This is really engrossing brilliant book, and I thoroughly recommend it. It starts off with some explicit sexual content before you get to the invisible bit which I think is relevant as an indicator of the kind of man he was before he becomes invisible.

Finally found this book again after years of trying to remember the actual title so I didn't come up with books of similar names. We both enjoyed it, and were gripped by it for a second time.

This book is fantastic! I think everybody should read it!
