5.0 out of 5 stars
Well-written, fun adventure book,
This review is from: The Gorilla Hunters: A Tale of the Wilds of Africa (R. M. Ballantyne Collection) (Hardcover)
A thoroughly delightful story, The Gorilla Hunters can be read separately from its predecessor, The Coral Island, though one does lose a little of the humor that way. Ralph is a thoughtful and philosophical narrator, with a strong sense of right and wrong, and the story is punctuated by exciting adventures, narrow escapes, and humorous episodes. With much less time spent on flora and algae than in the previous book, The Gorilla Hunters has a nice, if slow, pace and is an enjoyable read with some thought provoking material.On the surface, it could appear that the three (Peterkin especially) think themselves better than the black men they continually deal with, but they really don't if you look deeper. The main characters are Christians and desire everyone they meet to become so also. Ralph, as the narrator, occasionally praises God for His creation, and they pray on a few different occasions.

Not Free SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gorilla Hunters: A Tale of the Wilds of Africa (R. M. Ballantyne Collection) (Hardcover)
This is from the 40s, and is a very dated boy's adventure book, and bound to offend plenty of people these days I'd imagine.A bloke and his large masculine manly mate go on an African safari, as the title suggests. A faithful guide, an African princess, buffalo, leopards, lions, and more. That sort of thing.
