4.0 out of 5 stars
A good yarn with some interesting twists in the cryptogram.,
By Dave (Severna Park, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cryptogram (Hardcover)
As usual, Jules Verne writes a good yarn. This one is about a successful Portugese man who is wrongly accused and convicted in the far reaches of the Amazon basin. He is eventually saved by the solution of an encrypted confession by the man who committed the crimes. I found the challenge of solving the cryptogram before I got to the "book solution" to be trickier than expected. The type of cryptogram is pretty easy to determine; but getting a complete solution means overcoming three unexpected hurdles, two of which aren't even mentioned in the book.
