A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Invisible Man (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)

I thought the book The Invisible Man was a good book.It was about a man who had bandages all over him. Some people thought he was very ill and tried to doctor himself.Others said they would hearsounds coming from his room. One rainy day, a family owned a hotel. He asked if he could stay in one of the rooms,and he asked if they would not come check on him.
