The Island of the Blue Dolphins

Rating:
Summary: Karana has to survive on an island until white men come.
Review: Scott O'Dell's Island of the Blue Dolphins is based on the true story of The Lost woman of San Nicholas. There are few facts about that story however, so most of the book is fiction. Island of the Blue Dolphins is about a girl named Karana who lives alone on the island for many years. Karana builds shelter and weapons and gets food until people come to rescue her. The story of her life on the island is detailed, but not boring. I think Karana shows character and would recommend this book to anyone who likes survival stories but, does't mind a heroine.

Summary: A interesting but horrible book
Review: Island of the Blue Dolphins is a very wierd book. It makes no sence at all and is very disturbing. If you like books with gore and details-this is the book for you. I do not recamend this to any one 9-11 unless you really want to read it. This book is very sad and is in a way disgusting. Scott O'Dell did a nice job and i give him credit-but i am not a big fan of his books.

Summary: A review
Review: I thought the book wasn't wonderful but wasn't bad either. Karana is left behind with her brother Ramo on an island when her fellow Indians leave on a ship to Santa Barbara, California, which is straight from Karana's island... I have to say that is was very good.

Summary: A classic!
Review: A teacher in elementary school read this book to my class one year and I have loved it ever since. I have gone back to read this book many times over the last 30 years or so and it's just as wonderful now as when it was first read to me. Moving, sad, touching and triumphant at times, and based on a true story. Simply a classic...

Summary: It was a great book. I really liked it .
Review: It was a good book because it always had somethin intresting going on. Like If the Aleuts were going to come back or if her sister and the white men were going to come. My favorite part was when she met tutok and how they were talking in different languages. I did not give it five stars because the begining was boring. I like animals so i thought how she treated the animals was good. The sadest part I thought was when her brother got eaten by the wild dogs.

Rating:
Summary: Good. But not great.
Review: Though overall, it was generally a good book, I didn't reallylike it. I just don't know why. It could be because I never reallygot to know the character, what she was like, or it could be because I am not the type to read this kind of book. You should read it. See for yourself. I may not like it, but I wouldn't be surprised if you did.
