Customer Reviews
Classic Adventure Story
Haggard was one of the first great adventure writers along with Robert L. Stevens and Jules Verne whose works continue in circulation. His stories of high adventure in Africa are compelling and the old-fashioned, Victorian English viewpoint adds a dash of historical culture.
King Solomon’s Mines
Dull, boring. Gave up after 100 Pages.
Really interesting
I read the hard copy of this book while growing up, I’m not too surprised seeing the soft copy now but I’ll tell you it’s one of the best books I’ve read
