mybooks_maryreads's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

Old-timey writing, not for me. Plus the pacing is way off -- how many times does the invisible man get into a mix-up with villagers who are variously amazed or in denial of what they experience? I appreciate the reviewers who took the time to understand the context of the times, and therefore get the subtext. Not having that background, I just thought the invisible man was an asshat.
