Island of the Lost: An Extraordinary Story of Survival at the Edge of the World by Joan Druett

3.25

adventurous dark emotional informative inspiring tense medium-paced

---

while i enjoyed the story and the characters, i found the authors style of writing tedious. i understand the urge to explain the scientific and technical aspect of the real-world events, but i thought that some of the explanations were overdone and interrupted the narrative flow. additionally, there were times when the transitions were confusing and abrupt, further interrupting the flow of the story.
