adeperi's review against another edition
5.0
This was just as good as The Lost World or Sherlock Holmes. I laughed out loud so much while reading this because Etienne Gerard is one of the best and most hilarious main characters I've ever read. It's such a shame that most people only know Doyle's Sherlock Holmes works because they are seriously missing out on this.

every 19th century author seems to have the biggest crush on napoleon. i don't think I've ever read something as preoccupied with the way men look riding horses, how it feels to ride a horse, how cool soldiers are with their horses. the way "a horse feels between your thighs" is described repeatedly, to the point where I started to wonder if my mind was playing tricks on me.
