Finished Th 10/22/15
Although this novel is not the basis for the 1933 film, THE INVISIBLE MAN, Philip Wylie helped with the script. The genesis for that film was from an H.G.Wells novel, however the subject of 'invisible men' was big during the thirties.
I felt that the premise was hard to accept especially since all of us have been living in the 'War On Terror' for a couple of decades.
One man (invisible or not) doesn't seem that much of a threat these days. I kept thinking that all the authorities had to do was wait until winter and then Carpenter wouldn't be able to go outside because clothes would make him visible.
I still want to read Wylie's GENERATION OF VIPERS.
