The Man Who Would Be King

I'm usually not a harsh critique but I just couldn't get this particular book. It was lacking in some ways and I had to skim through a few pages to just get to the end and finish it off. Maybe it's cuz my mind was preoccupied or maybe it wasn't the right time to start a book like this one. So yes, though a short story, I found it extremely boring.

I love Kipling.

Such a simple story, but... strong.

I kind of prefer the movie, though... I saw the movie when I was a teenager, and I was blown away... this is one instance where the movie is better than the book :-D


Though I do appreciate the things, like Freemasons etc. in the story, I don't remember being in the movie.
