Welcome to another one of my "Now that I'm not academically obligated to read it, I will" ventures.To keep this brief, I did enjoy this book quite a lot. But the predictable elements were too drawn out. The beginning of the story took forever but I think in part it is because we are made to think this is a story ONLY about the invisible man but it follows an entire village's reactions as well. I do appreciate the interpretation of this situation however, unfortunately I've read and watched quite a lot of stuff like this. So even though this story probably inspired a lot of other work, I wasn't too invested. There were certain things that happened so conveniently that they seemed unnecessarily dragged.The narration was still great. There were parts where the narrator said "we" and "I" and I personally love that. It actually feels like someone is narrating it to me in my head instead of oh, I'm just reading this. Idk personal preference.I'ma read his other stuff for sure.
