100 word review: Invisible Man

An extremely interesting novel about a black man in the 1950s in the prejudiced American society. It looks at the situation in a new way, with a person once so filled with hope and reduced to mindless violence. Very deep and serious, not a book for Sunday afternoons.The characters are real and the whole novel has an auto-biographical feel about it. A book that can be appreciated by everyone. A modern classic, it is one of the must reads. It is considered one of the most important and influential novels of the twentieth century and the creator of African-American fiction.
