Review: To Swift, Jr Had An Inventor For A Father
Rating: 5 out of 5

Fans of the juvenile fiction of the Golden Age of science fiction will find this series reminiscent of the more well-known authors of the times.Fans of steampunk might even find it interesting as our youthful hero (with a very tiny bit of help from a supporting cast of characters) finds a way to use the contemporary technology of his time to produce inventions that today's home-workshop hobbyists probably still envy.The stories are a bit dated--a contemporary author wouldn't write with such relish about the mass slaughter of elephants or describe some of the characters in such--racially insensitive terms, but overall they were very readable.
