Title: Not Impressed
Review: As a teen entering the 9th grade at private school, I was instructed to read this book by the school. I, of course, read the book, but did so with pain. This is not a long book, but not short either. It took me about a week just to read all 208 pages. I was unimpressed by the topic of this book, several young British boys stuck on an island, and in my opinion, this author was in la-la land when he wrote the book. Although this is just my opinion, it was agreed on by my father, who read a small ammount while he waited for me at an appointment. If you love fantasy stories about people on deserted islands that try to form a government and fail, then resort to killing each other, this is definately the book for you. This is not a book I would recommend for those my age, 14, at all. I will say, however, that the ending reflected the main idea of the story and was excellent. The book was still difficult to read and I hope this review will warn you.
