Phantom of Terawhiti by Des Hunt

This is the second book by Des Hunt that I have read and I feel like I was even more impressed with this one. I sat down to start it and basically ended up polishing the book off the same day. It was a really entertaining read and I had a lot of fun reading through it.

I found the story line to be really good. It has a mysterious element to it which I really loved and I just thought it was so engrossing.

The characters were really believable and I really liked Zac. I did find Jess’ actions to be a little annoying though, I really want to tell her to just listen to Zac and then things wouldn’t have gone as far as they did. I did think she did redeem herself a little bit in the end though.

The writing is simplistic and straightforward which is to be expected as it’s written for a younger YA audience and I feel as though it just made the book flow on smoothly and made it really easy to just fly through the pages.

Overall, I thought that Phantom of Terawhiti was a really good read and I am definitely keen on reading more by Des Hunt.
