adventurous lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

A delightfully easy read but unfortunately after a really exciting first third, Jim messing around on the island just wasn't all that interesting! The ending picks up again, but it's very easy to see why all the bits in the middle about the blockhouse totally escaped my memory from any adaption or later influences.
