Quite a funny novella! This was a quick read, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I think it's best to go into this one without any expectations, I was intrigued by the synopsis but hadn't really heard anything about it before, and I think that may be why I liked it so much. I found myself really enjoying the humor as well!

I found this book tedious and un-funny. The premise is wonderful but the execution did not do anything for me, unfortunately!

What an extraordinary novella ! Absolutely well written, it is a masterpiece ! It is best not to reveal anything about the story, but the least to be said is that it is highly enjoyable !
i will recommend this pure jewel !
All opinions are mine, I received a copy from NetGalley

Maybe I would have liked this better if the main character died.

Huxable has been given the task of going through central Africa to save British outpost run by a man named Jepson. However, as Huxable is only a librarian his knowledge on surviving the African jungle is laughable.

This book can be amusing. However, at the end I was tired of Huxable's naivety and wished for his luck to run out.

This book is based on an advanced reading copy provided through Netgalley for an honest review.

I loved the way this was written, through letters. It gave different perspectives and really let me get to know the characters. I wished it was longer as it was really funny!

A little Flashman, a lot of fun. One of the subset of English/ adventurers/sleuths set in or around the Victorian era books that are fun to read if done well. This one is. Look forward to more by this author.
