DOWN AMONG MEN
Outlook: Possessed of a marvelous descriptive genius, equipped
with a remarkably flexible use of English and impelled by the passion of
a mystic—the author of Down Among Men has written a striking novel.
The Dial: Seems to us the most exalted and appealing story Mr. Comfort has thus far written.
The Argonaut: A novel of extraordinary power. It is good as Routledge Rides Alone. It could hardly be better.
London Post: Alive with incident, bounding with physical energy, dramatic in coloring, and modern in every phrase. He has a message delivered with vigor, inspired with tense passion.
Atlantic Monthly: There is so much real fire in it—the fire of youth that has seen and suffered—so much vitality and passion that one grows chary of petty comments. The writer offers us the cup of life, and there is blood in the cup.
Chicago Record-Herald: An almost perfect tale of courage and adventure.
Chicago Tribune: Contains some of the most remarkable scenes that have appeared in recent American fiction.
New York Times: Few richer novels than this of Mr. Comfort's have been published in many a long day.
New York Globe: We can say in all sincerity that we know of no recent bit of descriptive writing that can match this for sustained, breathless, dramatic interest.
Springfield Republican: Down Among Men is perhaps the most ambitious American novel that has come out during the past year.
