Review title: Disappointing reading
Product review: I was so taken by an online description of this book that I impulsively ordered The Unobstructed Universe and Across the Unknown, part of a sequence, with it. I got so bored with The Betty Book--and it is in my favorite genre of reading--that I could not finish the second half. Writing in the pre-1940s was a lot more cumbersome, I guess, and the revelations of the book were less than clear and less than astounding. I almost always finish books I have paid for, but it looks like these three will be exceptions. For me the most interesting part of the book was its cover illustration.I wanted to love this set of three books. It will be surprising if I even open the other two. That doesn't necessarily mean The Betty Book is poorly written and edited--the mechanics of the writing are fine--and someone with more patience for the writing of an earlier time may enjoy this book.Oh well, sometimes you take a chance and it does not work out as expected!
