Product Description

Book Description

Book number 4 in the original Tom Swift Series.

Tom Swift has gone through four series and through generations of the Tom Swift family. Quiet Vision has republished the first twenty five titles in the original Tom Swift series. The original Tom Swift series is referred to as Tom Swift Sr.

Quiet Vision tracks Tom Swift from "His Motor Cycle" to "His Electric Locomotive." Many characters reoccur through the series including: Mary Nestor, who Tom eventually marries, Mr. Damon who is always blessing almost everything, Eradicate Sampson and his mule Boomerang who is braver and more intelligent than assumed and many others.

Called an inventor, Tom Swift is more of a talented mechanic with a special love for airships and airplanes.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Tom's Slightly Less Than Amazing Adventure, Avril 25 2003
Par David K. Taggart (Calhoun, GA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tom Swift & His Submarine Boat (Paperback)
Judging this both as an original Tom Swift story, and as a Quiet Vision reprint, it is not a first-rate effort.

The plot is juvenile, even by 1910 juvenile standards, and way below the series average. Much of the science is wrong, and was obviously wrong even in 1910. The characters are not shown off to their best adventage -- way too much Mr. "Bless my collar buttons" Damon, and not enough Eradicate, too little Ned, and too much pilot and sea captain guest characters. Eradicate may be politically incorrect for newer generations, but he's one of the most interesting characters in the series, and he's THERE -- at a time when many Americans pretended that black people did not even exist in fiction.

The reprint -- good paper quality, and a good sturdy binding. I wish they'd gone with a smaller typeface and more pages (at a quarter-inch, this just "feels" to thin). And while they've cleaned up old typographic errors and mis-spellings, they've inserted even more new ones, in a very poor proofreading effort.

But it's still TOM SWIFT, you can hold it in your hands and read it, and it's under ten bucks -- and that's not bad.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A great book., Fév 7 2001
Par Craig (Portland, OR USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Tom Swift & His Submarine Boat (Paperback)
The tom swift line of books have been books of a smart boy and his adventures with many contraptions he creates or buys. Not only does Victor Appleton create a world of good clean fun, he creates a place you can visit as many times as you want.

If you have not read any of the Tom Swift books, start with the first one, Tom Swift and his Motercycle.
