2.0 out of 5 stars Great book - too many errors, May 24, 2007

This review is from: An Antarctic Mystery (The Sphinx of the Ice Fields) (Paperback)

The number of misspelled and missing words in this book make it very hard to read at times.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and will try to find a better copy.

This review is from: An Antarctic Mystery (Paperback)

This is a nice work of mystery. While written before humankind acquired today's knowledge of the southern ocean and environment, it is nevertheless entertaining. The book contains numerous mispellings and typographical errors, but that does not affect its readability as a whole.

5.0 out of 5 stars sequel to Poe's novel, September 8, 2005

This review is from: An Antarctic Mystery (Paperback)

I haven't read this yet, but I thought people might like to know that this is a sequel to the only novel of Edgar Allen Poe. H.P. Lovecraft also wrote a sequel and so, in his way, did Rudy Rucker. The rating is how I feel about Verne in general (I've read some 40 or so books of his) and because this system won't accept a review without a rating.
