The Shrinking Man Audiobook

" A nice and original science-fiction novel. "

" A good Adventure, but was my least favorite of Richard Matheson so far. "

" My copy included several other stories by Matheson, many of them excellent. I have been hearing about Matheson for years and am happy to have finally read him. "

" Richard Matheson knows how to write an entertaining book for sure. I enjoyed this one to the finish! "

" This was a great read. It was nothing like I expected it to be when I first started reading it! It gives a great insight into the emotions and thoughts of a man who is; day by day; getting smaller and smaller. I felt for the guy. What happened to him would really bite the big one. Excellent read! I'd recommend to anyone! "

" A very good book, it takes a simple concept and reveals the true horror behind it. The isolation of leaving the world you once knew behind and the human struggle in the face of complete hopelessness. A short read but one I highly reccomend. "

" I've been a fan of the classic sci-fi movie since I was a kid and finally read the book, finishing it in about 3 days. Awesome book. There's so much more to it than the movie. "

" For me "The Incredible Shrinking Man" was just an ok short story when compared to some of Matheson's other work. I did enjoy many of the other short stories that were included with it however. Some of my favorites were Duel and Button, Button. Definitely worth the read though. "

" I decided to read after reading the legend.his imagination is different and striking .it is like advantures of gulliver.however he gets into other dimension and keeps shrinking ,the cell size microscopic world.I like it most in the book. "

" It's very hard being a man. "

" I loved the 1950s movie of this book and wondered if the book would be too dated. I actually enjoyed Matheson's discriptive writing enormously. Yes, the language does show its age but I really felt the fear of the situation - especially the spider! "

" perhaps it was the fact that i chose to "read" this book in the audio sense. i found the main character incredibly annoying and the writing mundane and repetitive. i hear the movie is great, but i've never seen it. "

" Never thought I would be so terrified of a spider. "

" Ending left a little to be desired but don't let that deter you: this is an amazing book. "

" Excellent philosophic study of what becomes of a man when all aspects of humanity are slowly stripped from him, 7/8 of an inch a day. "

" I didn't like it or dislike it enough to want to say much about it. Ultimately it was kind of sad. That may be the Richard Matheson book I've read that I wasn't really a fan of. 2 stars = neutral in this case. "

" This is a classic adventure story, with some surprisingly adult themes regarding the male ego. Although short at about 200 pages, it packs a punch. "
