Review: I think the story is quite interesting and entertaining. I like the adventures that the protagonist experienced the most. After reading this book, I begin to like story with adventure as I enjoyed this book a lot. The adventures, for example the protagonist find many dead bodies on the small island accidently, always entertain me. I like the bravery of the protagonist, Carol, because he was not afraid of the dead man’s island and try to investigate what had happened. Hence, I like this book.
