This is the last book that I had to read for class unwillingly and it's hopefully the last novel in my entire life that I will be forced to read against my inclination. It's the most grossly kitschy late-Victorian adventure/romance and I really didn't enjoy it at all. I hated all the characters, especially the manic tropical pixie dream girl Rima. Almost needless to say, the narrator is revoltingly racist and I could barely read it without feel ill. I don't really know what to say about it except that it's overdramatic, foul, and just completely not recommended by me to anyone ever.
