Robur the Conqueror (Large Print Edition)

(1 recensione)

The pistol shots were almost simultaneous. A cow peacefully grazing fifty yards away received one of the bullets in her back. She had nothing to do with the quarrel all the same.

Review of 'Robur the Conqueror' on 'Goodreads'

What exactly was the point of this story, really? Was there one? The characters stay cardboard cutouts, character development is non-existent, and the whole plot is going nowhere. Nemo had at least a reason to take the protagonists on board, his expy Robur just wants to be a dick for being a dick's sake. He shows up in a club in Philadelphia, calls everyone there idiots, and then kidnaps the main characters for a trip in his airship when they laugh at him.
I guess Verne really wanted to write a new 20.000 miles under the Sea but was a bit lost for ideas.
