A review by sheilakay
Castle of Water by Dane Huckelbridge

3.0

Well written book but not what I was expecting, which was a light beach read about 2 people stranded on a desert island. Instead this was a slower paced, more somber tale of survival and the gradual developing of a relationship between the man and woman, who initially dislike one another. I agree with another reviewer who found it a bit pretentious in its tone. I never became invested in Sophie and Barry and could see the story was headed towards a disappointing ending, so I pretty much rushed through the last quarter of the book. I can see why people would enjoy this book but it just wasn’t for me.
