toebean5 's review for:
Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World
by Joan Druett
Update: Holy cow, I can't believe it- they all liked it! The group called this riveting and fascinating and several said they read it all in one go. :o It was a really good discussion. Confirming that I never know what will 'land' and what won't. Revisiting all of my notes made me appreciate it even more- especially the scholarship that went into its writing. I'm adding a star out of respect for that alone.

I don't think that this one is going to go over well at book club, but it's good to try a long shot every now and then. I found it very interesting- I love survival stories; but I think I could have benefited from a bookmark with sailing/nautical terms on it as well as a map to easily refer to. I also think I could have used 90% less seal clubbing/descriptions of seal death. I get it, they had to survive, but... could they really not catch any fish? I'm just saying. We'll see what the group thinks.
