Why read it?

1 author picked Memoirs of an Invisible Man as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I was floored by this fantastic thriller. Most “invisible man” stories cast the invisible character as the villain, but Memoirs flips the script, and the result is magnificent.

And the best part of this different take on the genre: It leaves you…

From Christopher's list on putting a different spin on a popular genre.
