It was just fine. Took me wayy too long to read even though it's less than 200 pages. I just didn't have as much fun with it as I was hoping to. Might also be the fact that I am still getting out of a reading slump...

This is a great book for people who enjoy mysteries or classic horrors! This book was published in 1897, the same year horror classic Dracula was published. This book focuses on the invisible man himself, and the main mystery is his motivation - no one understands why he does what he does until the end. It’s a short, fun read for those interested in this type of book!

The main character just isn't very interesting aside from his invisibility. I understand why it's a classic, but I didn't enjoy reading it.
