The Shrinking Man (Richard Matheson)

This is fairly typical of this kind of book. It is the story of what would happen in these circumstances in a matter of fact way, without much characterisation or drama.

Oh come on guys... It wasn't that bad!

Naff!

A tedious book, with a tedious hero. I couldn't sympathise or empathise with him. Also full of too many inconsistencies where size is concerned

I really enjoyed this but I think it had just a couple too many flaws to be a classic. However, I thought that what it had to say about our reaction to people who are phsically different from us was very interesting. If I could give it 3 and a half stars I would.
