bookwormjimmy 's review for:

The Gold Bug by Edgar Allan Poe
3.0
adventurous informative mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A treasure hunt with a golden bug. Not quite treasure island, and not quite as macabre as Poe's later works. My favorite part was actually the deduction of the cipher and the ensuing explanation.
