nellym27 's review for:

She: A History of Adventure by H. Rider Haggard
2.0

The book is rather boring, and the racist undertones, and fawning admiration of white beauty only makes the story feel more tired. One can hardly feel for any of the characters or really care much about their progression, and even the quest itself felt lacking of motivation. Some parts of the novel were wonderful imagined and described to create truly fantastical moments, but the overall book was not for me, and perhaps has not aged as well as its contemporaries.
