The first five pages and also a bit towards the end would fit perfectly in r/niceguy. Probably on the incel reading list as those pages truly encapsulate a slightly toned down version their mentality. There is also frequent, on almost every other page, racism calling their travel companions negroids, half breeds, Indians(when in the Americas) etc. Talking down about them as lesser than whilst talking about the supremacy of Europeans.literaryrevisited's review against another edition

I was really intrigued by the idea of this - a dinosaur adventure novel from the 1910s - and while I quite enjoyed it, I had some reservations. There were some funny moments and I recognised Conan Doyle's comic timing from the Sherlock Holmes books. It's a fun adventure in parts but overall I felt there weren't enough dinosaurs and there was too much imperialism. It's very much of its time and the adventure the characters go on is steeped in colonial attitudes which I found impossible to overlook.
