Review

Optimized for the MobiPocket Reader, this is a very special edition of T.S. Arthur's "Ten Nights in a Bar Room." The text of the book is completely in English. If you click on one of the words in the text, a convenient pop-up window appears with a customized French thesaurus for that word, which includes a variety of French translations that come from Webster's Online Dictionary (www.websters-online-dictionary.org). Running throughout the text, uncommon English words are highlighted in blue that are likely to be found in examinations in English Language Programs (ELP), English as a Foreign Language (EFL) programs, or in English as a Second Language Programs (ESL). The highlighted vocabulary words are also likely to be found in foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement- (AP-), TOEFL-, TOEIC-, SAT-, PSAT- , GMAT-, LSAT-, GRE-, or similar examinations.

3.0 out of 5 stars Preachy
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2021

This was very popular when it was released in the 1800s.

It is a morality tale, basically preaching that intemperance will change your health and morals over time. For me, no character reminded me of a real person. The second chapter was a year later. I didn't get beyond that.

3.0 out of 5 stars Temperance propaganda in 1854
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2017

Preachy and bordered on the ridiculous. Purpose served well in 1854.

Read for historical perspective. I had to keep that in mind when the actions of the characters bordered on he ridiculous. And the preachy, self-righteous tone came through.

Overall a good read. Even though written in 1854, novel gives perspective on the overall extreme and ignorant positions taken by todays right and left.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Melodrama
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2008
Ten Nights In A Bar Room is the second most popular book of the mid-19th century after Uncle Tom's Cabin. It captures the spirit of the Temperance movement which fought the uncontrolled abuse of alcohol in American society. It is a melodrama, written almost as a play, and would be easy to adapt for stage performance from this book. It was performed many times as a play in in the 19th century by traveling theater companies. It is an easy read and is both revealing and unintentionally humorous. For those interested in understanding the mind-set of our ancestors, this book is very useful as primary source materal. It's values are those of the prim-and-proper class of people who felt themselves the mainstay of society. It's a fun read for history buffs and a great resource for period theater.
