“There is a most delightful boy in 'The Camera Fiend’—a charming,
public school boy of seventeen who suffers from asthma and quite wins
your admiration as he goes wheezing and coughing his plucky way towards
duty and excitement.... An excellent book.”—_New York Post._
“The tale never lags, but swings briskly on to a dramatic finale....
Genuinely attractive by reason of its spirited characterization, facile
invention, and a sort of romantic realism.”—_Chicago Tribune._
“All told we recommend this as a capital story.”—_Philadelphia Press._
“A more fascinating story than 'The Camera Fiend’ it would be hard to
find.... When the jaded reader of fiction is weary of psychology and
character study let him turn to such a book as 'The Camera Fiend’ and it
will wake him up.”—_Rochester Post-Express._
“Mr. Hornung’s story is entertaining and quite weird enough at times to
give the reader 'the creeps.’”—_Philadelphia Ledger._
“It makes the reader sit up and take notice from the very
first.”—_Newark Evening News._
“The reader will spend an entertaining evening in following the author’s
ingenious solution of a skilfully woven plot.”—_Boston Globe._

“Raffles is amazing; his resource is perfect; he talks like a gentleman
and acts like one, except when occupied with pressing business in
another man’s house at midnight, and naturally he has a 'cool nerve,’ a
nerve positively arctic. They all have nerves like that, these
Raffleses.”—_New York Tribune._
