Summary: The-Book-That-Must-Be-Read
Comment: I've heard about this novel for years, but never got around to
reading it. I'm sorry I missed it in my early teens, which would
have probably been the best age to read it. Even as an adult, I
find it an unforgettable read. A 2000-year-old woman, waiting
for the rebirth of the lover she had slain...some of the images
stay forever. What's a hot-pot? You'll always remember. Mummies
as torches, twitching embalmed corpses, the Fire of Eternal
Life. Haggard wrote in an eloquent style not seen today. This
is more than an adventure novel; it covers love, life, religion. I can see why it was a best-seller when it was first published.
It's always going to be read.

Summary: Page turner
Comment: Books don't usually show up on your kitchen counter uninvited but this one did with a note tucked inside saying all in the family must read this. One by one we all read "She" reserving judgement until everyone had finished. Chomping at the bit those who had read it could barely wait for the moment when it could be discussed openly. When the last reader closed the book and placed it on the living room table the comments flew.
"I thought I'd hate it...the writing was so Victorian"
"How did Haggard come up with those wild scenarios"
"I hated her and loved her at the same time"
"Right and wrong became muddled"
"Everything was covered, adventure, excitement, romance, death, religion and morality"
"I continued to turn the pages hardly believing that he could come up with another bizarre scene"
Do we recommend it??? A great big giant YES!!!

Summary: Haggard at his best
Comment: Haggard may not have invented the Lost Race novel, but he perfected it and inspired a host of imitators. There are some fine touches in this novel, such as the Leap of Death across an abyss. The three heroes try one by one to leap across. The second one misses. This brings the reader to fever pitch, wondering whether the third one will make it across. Read and find out!
