Der Unsichtbare

medium-paced

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.

Very fun to read. I really enjoyed finishing this book, and as someone who's trying to pick up my love for reading again, this is a suitable choice for me. The book is quite short, the storyline is pretty interesting, and the character development is a page-turner for me.
