Jules Verne
In Search of the Castaways or the Children of Captain Grant by Jules Verne. Published by MobileReference (mobi). Very happy to get this! If you want to enjoy the whole story I recommend reading "The Mysterious Island" and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". All these three books are related to each other.

The appearance of this book is aweful.
I was not happy about the appearance of this book. This is a marvelous novel and I read it long time ago in Chinese version. The version had a lot of very good pictures, which helped to make the novel more interesting and attractive. And it looked like a novel. The English version I received looked like a computer programming guide rather than a novel...

I was not happy about the appearance of this book. This is a marvelous novel and I read it long time ago in Chinese version. The version had a lot of very good pictures, which helped to make the novel more interesting and attractive. And it looked like a novel. The English version I received looked like a computer programming guide rather than a novel.
At the first glance, I thought I had received an MS computer book, which used to come with old computer a few years ago. The size of the book looks like that. The fonts used look like that as well. I was truly disappointed to see such a marvelous and interesting novel would have yet appeared in such a dull, uninteresting, and boring way. There was not even a picture on the cover! Quite frankly, if I had not known this book previously, I would have paid no attention to it if I saw it.

What a rip-off!,
This review is from: In Search of the Castaways; or the Children of Captain Grant (Paperback)
Don't pay $$$$ for this. This is a free file, that the publishers have printed out from one of dozens of sites on the internet.
How cheap can publishers get? Check out the amazon scans. The page numbers in the table of contents are from the old edition that's been ripped off, and don't match the current book! Oh, and this (from the Horne/Parke edition) is horribly truncated. Four of Verne's chapters completely removed. Significant portions of many other chapters deleted. Et cetera. Captain Grant's Children is a masterpiece. This edition is a rip-off, at any price. Shame on Amazon for even selling this kind of disreputable nonsense. |
