HTML: Tom Swift and His Motor Boat is the second book in the original Tom Swift series. "Every boy possesses some form of inventive genius. Tom Swift is a bright, ingenious boy and his inventions and adventures make the most interesting kind of reading." "These spirited tales convey in a realistic way, the wonderful advances in land and sea locomotion and other successful inventions. Stories like these are impressed upon the memory and their reading is productive only of good." This series of adventure novels starring the genius boy inventor Tom Swift falls into the genre of "invention fiction" or "Edisonade". .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Young Tom acquires a motorboat and has various adventures -- he has a boat race with a local bully, rescues a pretty girl, and captures criminals from the "Happy Harry gang" who have stolen inventions from his father's workshop. There is much description of how an outboard motor works, and how Tom adjusts the various features to obtain the maximum speed. Frankly, the action is awfully tame, the dialogue is wooden and stilted, and the characters are one- dimensional. Perhaps choices from the second generation of Tom Swift books might have attributes of interest to today's readers, but as something written for the great- great- grandfathers of today's boys, this one is of historical interest only.
