michaeldennis's review against another edition
3.0
"Doctor Ox's Experiment" is still my favorite of all of the stories, although I did enjoy the disquiet in "Master Zacharius". I think I will remember that story for a long time. "A Winter Amid the Ice" isn't a great story, to me, but I was on the edge of my seat during the growing tension between the crew members as they awaited the thaw.
Paul Verne's "The Fortieth French Ascent of Mont Blanc" doesn't have the suspense and the danger of other mountain climbing books I've read, but it felt authentic and the impact of the achievement and the sights high upon the rooftop of the world is evident.
