Reviews

[Clark · Rating 3 out of 5]

Huckleberry Finn - one of the greatest American novels written. If there's such a thing as a "must read" for students of American literature, this undoubtedly is it.

The Sea Around Us - somewhat tedious, somewhat interesting.

Alice In Wonderland - actually two books separately provided- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass - when I was young, these were among my favorite novels. Now I'm old and boring, and, well, so I find these novels to be old and boring. They've got all the old stories, of course, but now they just seem so random and rather pointless.

The Prisoner of Zenda - a fun novel if you don't take it too seriously and turn a blind eye to all the plot holes. Enjoyable.
