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!

Well written satire,shows us too much information at times but is not at all boring or uninteresting.
One time read.
Many thanks to Dunmore books for providing me with an e-ARC.

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.

A short, sometimes funny novella, detailing Mr. Huxtable’s journey across Africa to safe Mr. Jepson.

The story is told through various letter exchanges, mostly from Mr. Huxtable’s point of view. According to him it is a long hard journey and it is perfectly normal that it is led by him, a librarian.

Barring all this the journey ends in success, from a certain point of view.
