SCOTSMAN.—“The book is fascinating, and is written with a force which seems born of sincerity, without any sensationalism. It cannot fail to interest readers.”
MORNING LEADER.—“The record of an adventurous life, when well told, always appeals to the imagination and sympathy of the reader, and ‘A Man Adrift’ is such a record. Presumably the adventures are real; they have all the vividness of reality at all events, and one follows the hardships and wanderings of the narrator with keen interest. . . . Mr. Kennedy is to be congratulated on his ‘Man Adrift.’ ”
TO-DAY.—“I have discovered in ‘A Man Adrift’ one of the most remarkable autobiographies ever penned. There is on every one of the incidents the stamp of reality. There does not appear to be a page of fiction in the book, and in his devil-may-care language the author secures the effect of absolute truth.”
UNIVERSE.—“This is really one of the best books we have had the pleasure to read for a long time. . . . The author evidently understands what he is writing about, and the whole is so beautifully written, that as the reader scans the pages the various scenes treated of are brought in a vivid manner before the mind.”
REVIEW OF THE WEEK.—“Each chapter is vivid with actuality. The book is interesting by reason of its absolute sincerity, and the strange quaint phases of life in out-of-the-way places, with which it deals. Mr. Kennedy’s style is peculiarly his own, and we are not prepared to contest its effectiveness. His story of the power of the human eye in obtaining a free lunch is altogether admirable. This is a book which should be widely read, and few will lay it down before the last page has been scanned.”
