katja_juliannova's review against another edition
2.0
About what I should have expected from 19th century Australian pulp fiction but, the idea of an erudite, cosmopolitan, amoral, criminal mastermind, who is never without his beloved cat, was hard to resist. I suppose, the narrator's continual casual racism shouldn't be surprising in a work of this period but, it was really grating and made it hard to finish the story. Would have liked much more of Dr. Nikola himself (and cat) and much less of everyone else.
