3.0 out of 5 stars Island: Shipwreck Review, May 12 2004

By

Katie (Miamisburg, OH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Island Boxset (Paperback)

I though that this book was very detailed. Also very informing and well plotted. I liked the fact that each character was very different but all related because of "Charting a New Course". I was delighted to find that the twist of Captain Cascadden death also invited the dissapearance of Mr. Radford. The fire on the Phoenix was predictable but the loss of Lyssa and J.J. was never expected by me. I enjoyed the end of the book because it kind of left you hanging until the next book. I rated this book a 3/5 because most of the story was predictable but some of it left you on the edge of your seat.

This review is from: Island Boxset (Paperback)

it is a book related to cooperation, equality, respect, friendship, uniqueness, love, growth, you name it.
although people have different talents, they are one.
just like our bodies, we have hands, ears, eyes, hearts, feet, etc.
they have different functions, but they are one.
all of them are equally important.
the book taught me a lot.
my favorite character is Richie Rich. a funny nickname...
sounds like he is not special, but he IS special in some way.
you will know it in the end.

This review is from: Island Boxset (Paperback)

My name is Justin I am in fifth grade, and the book I am reading is Island. The book Island is an excellent book! The author of this book is Gordon Korman. If you like fiction books you would like the book Island! The book takes place on an uncharted island, with a group of 6 kids trying to survive by working together.

The kids are on a boat to be taught a lesson for being bad. Their boat crashes because of a terrible storm. The boat gains water and capsizes. All of the kids have to swim to shore. They have to survive by helping others to remain healthy and to keep alive. They have to find there own food and shelter and heat.

I think the book is exciting and interesting, because of all of the adventure. When I first started reading this book I couldn't put it down. I got two of my friends to start to read it, and they said they like it so far. If you like a lot of adventure you would like this book! It is so good that it makes you feel like you are in the book with the people. Ever since I read this book I wanted to read more. I hope you read and enjoy this book Island. When you are done reading this book you should inspire your friends to read this book. This book kid of teaches you how to survive.
