I'll be honest. I didn't really enjoy this book, but I think that might have been because I read it through Daily Lit. This is only the second long work that I've read on Daily Lit. The first was "Around the World in 80 Days," which seemed to be ideal for the format. As this was another adventure novel from the time period, I expected it would be just as enjoyable. I think Daily Lit is a little like listening to audio books. For me, I've found that I can only listen to certain types of books on audible. Non-fiction works much better for me than fiction, since it's easier to recover if you miss something in non-fiction. I imagine there will likely be certain genres that work better for me on Daily Lit too.
Here, because I was bored for the first third of the novel, I tended to skim a bit. (Hey, it was sent to me by e-mail, and who doesn't skim e-mail?) And then, even though the rest of the novel picked up, I still had trouble getting into it, because of what I missed earlier.
And so overall, it wasn't a bad novel, but I never really recovered from my bad start with it. I still wonder if I would have liked it more in book form. The answer may be no, but I'm just not sure.
