King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard

slow-paced

0.0

First book for my Empire and it's Fictions course! Aside from being the usual imperialist garbage that depicts Africans as only barbaric or in servitude (this I had very much expected), it's an incredibly boring book. It's written as a letter to his son, and I feel sorry that this fictional son has to read such a long and ridiculously detailed story, even though at points the main character would leave details out, it was still such long, and boring story. British people really thought this was fun? An enjoyable adventure romance novel that became a bestseller 🙄
