Breezy, quick read. Read through it with my kids in mind and think they'd have trouble with the slowness of the beginning but would probably enjoy the island scenes. Slow in places, with an ending that's a bit too perfect, but still a good read.

Read this a long while ago and dont remember much. I want to review all books I've read so heres what I remember.

It was quite intryigung to find out about "the old man" and his story. I remember being quite interested when it was revealed and that I was endearing to see the old man take care of the main character.

I also remember finding the book quite boring which is the reason for the low rating.

Thanks Leo
