Invisible Man: A Novel Audiobook

" This book is intense from beginning to end. An exhausting journey through one man's extraordinary life. I own the paperback, kindle digital print, AND the audible version (The narrator makes the story come alive! Dynamic!) you must know that I LOVE this book. Imagine the world not seeing you as you see yourself.... "

" Great and important piece of literature that anyone of any race can identify with... A great read! "

" Couldn't finish this shit, even though I'm to write an essay on it over the weekend. "

" An eloquent, surprising, gripping, revolting, thought-provoking book. "

" I needed to read this for class, but I found the descriptions to be wonderful. Not the easiest to start, but it was not hard to read overall. "

" One of the greatest books of all time. This book is one of the most important reasons that "The Help" is a less than useless book. "

" One of my favorite novels. Astonishing writing, powerful and brutal. It captures the energy of a specific time but feels timeless, just the way great stories should. "

" Mentally a difficult book to digest yet one that provided insight beyond my experience and youth at the time. Will recommend to my nieces when they hit 20s. "

" One of those books I really appreciate but wasn't swept away with. I enjoyed thinking about it. "

" Yet again, another novel which brings forth issues of colletive inheritance, history, racial issues, and cultural identity. "

" I was afraid during the first chapter of the book that this would be an unpleasant slog, but it turned out to be interesting. "

" Unfairly, I didn't like this book because I was forced to read it in AP Literature. Let's just say I had a strong case of senior-itis at the time. I'm not unconvinced it's worth another read. "

" Awesome as was The Court Theatre's rendition. "

" Ellison's epic journey describing the society, race relations, and economic deprivation. "

" I must admit that I read this as part of a required class that I was taking in the summer. I completely resented the class and hated the whole experience..... probably explains why I didn't like the book so much. "

" It has probably the best first sentence I've seen in a novel in a long time. "

" Had to read it again because I do find that when I read books as an adult that I read when I was younger, there are different messages or elements that stand out. Still so poignant. Brilliant. "

" I feel like I need to know more about the president. "

" I wish people recognized this as the "Invisible Man" and not H.G. Wells'. This is a great social commentary on racism in America. "

" This was a great book. "

" Very episodic but interesting... I'm not too sure if it's more telling of African Americans, Caucasian Americans, or weird incestuous Jim Truebloods. My favorite passage is when the narrator states, "I Yam What I Yam." Mostly because yams are delicious... and I wanted one. "

" A overview on how finding justice in this world comes from finding the invisibility we neglect to see "

" Great classic. I wish that the younger generation would read it. "

" It is an interesting book and a great example of the treatment of African Americans at this time period. Unfortunately, I find the main character unrealistically naïve and that hinders my ability to believe the story. "

" Still awesome, though the paint company chapters are pretty brutal. And yeah, the characterization may not be the greatest, but the prose more than makes up for it. "

" I should re-read this; it was too complicated for my high school brain to understand the ending; but I know I loved it until then.... "

" I read this for a modernism course and in terms of modern literature this is very readable. I do feel that it was about 100 pages too long. So many plot movements that go no where (which is very modern) it wasn't my favorite book but not so terrible that it shouldn't be read. "

" should have read it in high school when i was supposed to, very good... "

" "Who knows but that, on the lower frequencies, I speak for you?' Who indeed, Mr. Ellison. Illegitimi non carborundum. "
