great fun

Pretty straightforward adventure. Short and sweet. Very entertaining. Doyle's prose is about as elegant as they come. Loved the ending, especially the conclusion of the romantic narrative established in the first chapter. Everything basically fell into effortlessly perfect placement.

Great reading

Wonderful short-ish adventure story, great characters, and excellent performance/voices. It stayed interesting the whole time, and made me wish there was more!

A Ripping Good Yarn for Young & Old

This book may be dated and politically incorrect, but I'm old enough now not to care. It is still a great boys adventure story that can be enjoyed by a cranky old guy. The writing is concise, fluid without a wasted sentence or moment. And though the characters are sterotypes the all serve the story well and are likeable. This book is A.C. Doyle at his best - Sherlock Holmes excepted.

Wonderful -short listen, amazing adventure

I have listened or read everything of Arthur Conan Doyle. This one is just long enough for a roundtrip drive or rainy weekend. Very well narrated. I love this narrator’s accent. Reads like a Jules Verne novel. Highly recommend.

Detail
