"i'd never thought of stevenson as a comic writer (and i suppose his co-author speaks to that), but this is a fine little novel, rather like wodehouse."

    " I found the plot completely implausible and ridiculous. Yet, I did enjoy this classic. It is very Shakespearean in many ways and I enjoyed that. The characters are rich and interesting and the plot, though mind-numbingly reliant on coincidence, is fun to watch unfold. "

    " Stevenson is a favorite author of mine but The Wrong Box didn't feel like it hung together as well as Kidnapped or Treasure Island. It's a good light comedy, but Stevenson does better with action and scene-setting I think. "

    " Enjoyable read. Not as funny as I might have hoped but clever and loaded with lots of colorful 19th century British colloquialisms. "

    " A farce co-written by R.L. Stevenson and his stepson Lloyd Osbourne, this comedy of a concealed body is hectic, improbable, dated, and intermittently funny. "
