King Solomon's Mines 5 5 2 2

I am very impressed with this author. King Solomon's Mines was the first book I tried by Haggard, and I thought it was probably a guy's book so I wouldn't like it that much. Surprisingly I did-the narrative-style keeps the story moving, and the author picked a topic that hadn't been done to death. And, it's a classic so it's clean, which was definatly a plus.

This is one of my older son's favorite books. After reading this book he thought Indianna Jones was a whimp. If you want lots of adventure this is the book. I would caution that this book should not be read by younger children due to some violent content. This is a favorite author in our house. April 1, 2005
