A Great Sequel to a Great Book, Dec 16 2011
By Alan - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I loved the Coral Island and I have read it several times since I was in middle school and I first found it amongst my mother's books. Just the other day I found out that all these years there has been a sequel to the Coral Island that contains the same characters, the same spirit of adventure and the same charming writing style.No one should let this book pass them by if they have enjoyed classic literature like the Coral Island, The Swiss Family Robinson, Treasure Island or Robinson Crusoe. Especially do not let the review by Richi sway you. This book was written in the 1800s when gorillas were not endangered and hunting them was considered as appropriate as hunting deer.

i agree with the previous reader's review that the subject matter in this book may be [is] inappropriate for our times. i read this story first in high-school and its a great adventure ride from start to finish. i haven't read it since but decide to purchase another hard-copy as i lost mine. i never thought much about looking up other titles from this author but, after learning that 'the coral islands' is a prequel to this work. i plan on reading that as well.

The Gorilla Hunters, Feb 9 2012
By Jennifer Downey - Published on Amazon.com
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!! Please do not listen to the other reviews that say it is ok or just plain bad. Those reviews are NOT true and this is one of my all time favorites. Peterkin is so awesome!!! You will totally fall in love with these characters (especially Peterkin lol) and just the whole story in general. One more thing, those people that say this book is sick are NUTS!!! I mean, SERIOUSLY people, GET OVER IT!!!! Guys,really, this book was written in the 1800's and they didn,t know that gorillas were endangered. They didn't even think they existed!!! So really, believe me they are not cruel or over the top or anything about killing the animals in this book. I am a fourteen year old kid and I KNOW. I've read plenty of quality books to know what I'm talking about!!! I only read the best lol :-)
