Title: This Book Wouldn't Be Published Today
Review: This is another one of those so called "classics" that continue to be overrated based on the fact that they are "classics." Not to be confused with more deserving titles that make one wonder how a body of work can sound so fresh and accomplished after 50, 100, 200 + years, this particular work should be put on the bookshelf along with Count of Monte Cristo, Tarzan, The Lost World, etc. that are written by famous and gifted writers but in their off days, or off years for that matter.This book is difficult to get into and that is the beginning and the end of it. This is literature not a scientific endevour.If the manuscript were submitted for publication today, it would either not see the light of day or first get edited into shape and out of recognition. Story is good. Storytelling needed much better effort.
