As desvantagens de ser invisível.

Apesar de a personagem obviamente tirar vantagem da sua situação, vamos entendendo todos os problemas advindos da sua invisibilidade. Esse foi o aspecto da obra que mais me agradou. A narrativa se perde um pouco na metade do livro, mas nos últimos capítulos as coisas voltam a ficar interessantes.
