Review of 'Longitude' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A minuscule group. Four, eventually, one of whom was a newbie and hadn't read the book. (But is local and is looking for a book group. So maybe she'll be back.) There wasn't really that much to say about the book. This was the second edition. The first edition had had the same words, but had no pictures of the clocks. And the readers complained vehemently about this that they issued a new edition, with a small section of pictures - including one of each of the four clocks. (I don't remember any pictures when I read it before. I do remember doing a google image search on them.)
