stephxsu's review against another edition
3.0
This was a read for my 19th-century Victorian lit class, and I wouldn't have picked it up otherwise, and for good reason. The voice of the first-person main character feels too forced, and the pacing is really choppy: lots of random things happen in the first half, and what feels like an entirely different story occurs in the second. Nevertheless, I can still sympathize with Juliet Appleton and even find her adventures romantic, in a way.
