By John Hopper TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
The less well known and less successful sequel to Rider Haggard's classic. There is not much here that is new in terms of plot, though Ayesha is depicted even more eloquently as a divine (or satanic?) being with potential mastery over not just the whole world, but seemingly the whole universe. The book is very well written and the author's command of language is superb. Worth looking out for if you have read and liked the original (though I HATE the cover of the Pulp Fictions edition).

Format:Paperback
"The Return of She," although not as exciting or groundbreaking as the classic "She," is nevertheless a worthy sequel, and one that all admirers of Haggard's original story should enjoy reading. It is a direct continuation of the earlier book, and as such may be called required reading for all fans of Ayesha, Leo Vincey and Ludwig Holly. The novel contains many exciting scenes, including a great avalanche, the pursuit of the death hounds, Ayesha's reincarnation, and the climactic battle with Kalloon. The Dover edition comes with beautiful illustrations from the original 1905 edition that greatly enhance the text. In light of the fact that the overwhelming preponderance of Haggard's books are sadly out of print, this book becomes even more worthy an addition to any fan's library. Now when is somebody going to release "She and Allen" again???

my first kindle book 25 Mar 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Just bought the Kindle and wanted to try all sorts of free classic fiction I never read years ago. This book is written in astonishingly good English prose - perhaps almost too heavy for many modern readers. I devoured it at a sitting. Haven't read *She* but know the elements of plot used in the Ursula Andress version. I had not realised how dark a character Ayesha actually is - how she came to be what she is - and how that immortality and power has to change the mind.. I shall look now for the third book in the trilogy.
