      Wanders a bit at the beginning, but once it gets to the point the story unwraps in a fast and furious manner. Even the evil ner-do-wells are complete gentlemen it seems. Thoroughly enjoyable. I'll have to read more.
    • 4/5
      A cult classic in which the hero, Richard Hatteras embarks on a series of adventures in order to win the hand of his true love and ends up kidnapped, imprisoned, poisoned, and on a rescue mission to discover the secret intentions of one of the most queer characters in literature, Dr. Nikola.An engrossing tale that lacks twists and surprises but will still have you turning page after page.
