Sadly, after much reading of The Great Game and this book's place within it, I found Kim to be a very hard book to read and enjoy.

Perhaps it was the sometimes dated language, perhaps it was the lack of any real enthralling narrative, or perhaps it is a sign that reading has evolved since 1900 and I'm not yet in a place to assimilate my preferences to include writing of that time.

However, there are many out there who love Kim and I am excited to read more of the backstory in my next book.
