Compare and Contrast

Have dropped the 'Electric Kool Aid Acid Test' for 'She' by H Rider Haggard.

For those who came late summary;

'The Honey Thief'
Whinging, moaning, chick stuff, a bicycle, Gilmour Girls-esq interaction, a bad imitation of 'Remembrance of Things Past'.

'She'
The chaps, having left the halls of Cambridge for the coast of Africa, have been ship wrecked in a storm. Gathering themselves and their possessions, they are spending the night in a long boat under the shadow of a menacing mountain (shaped like an Ethiopians head!). Lions have just been heard entering the water and are heading towards them...!!!!!!

********************

The Honey Thief has two more chapters to make the grade.
