King Solomon's Mines review by Amy J.

King Solomon's Mines

http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/21438

As an adult, I enjoyed the adventure and suspense in this story. I didn't let me younger children listen to it as it was a bit much for them (very descriptive in some parts). I had never even heard of this story but decided to give it a try and found it very interesting!
Descriptive as in violence….like a guy gets stomped by an elephant and they describe it very well. Then there’s a really scary witch doctor lady that they vividly describe. I liked it for it’s descriptiveness, but it’s not something I’d want my younger ones hearing about. I’d let my 13 yo hear it. J
