mprov80's review against another edition
Could not stomach the extremely revolting sexist 'romance' that takes a stranglehold on the second half of the book. Some of the most creepily misogynistic drivel I've ever had the misfortune to read. I fully understand that this was written in 1912, but anyone with a scrap of modern decency is going to find this a rough read. Such a massive shame because the first half of the book is a brilliantly inventive piece of fantasy-sci-fi-horror-adventure fiction. So disappointed, and frankly angry that such potential was wasted.
