Sci-Fi as a Genre

For English 10, I read a sci-fi novel. Using my novel, The Invisible Man, as a basis for the other sci-fi books, I would not promote sci-fi as a genre to read. In my opinion, The Invisible Man was not a very interesting book. This was the first sci-fi book I've read and I didn't like it, but, I have watched sci-fi movies and found them very appealing. Using the movies as a basis, I would most definately read sci-fi novels.
