    <body><![CDATA[I think my average rating is most likely due to the fact that I do not understand the satire of this story. It all seemed so jumbled and unorganized to me.<br/><br/>He speaks in the third person during the book and often speaks about how his audience might be reacting to what he is writing. I find this unnerving because I suspect he is just interjecting his presumptions of what someone would conceive and since the book was published in the 1800s he really would have no idea what someone in 2009 might be thinking of the Victorian society he is mocking.]]></body>
