Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Cay is a wonderful book. If you see it, read it.
Review: The Cay is a great book. In The Cay I like the part were the bird attacked Philph and Stew Cat kills the bird.I also like the part were the Hurricane hits but it is very sad when Thimthy died. wrote by J.M.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: Ok, so you are looking for an educational and adventure book, you have to get this one. It is about a boy named Phillip who is shipwrecked and goes blind. He is stuck with a black man named Timothy. The book is basically all about survival in an island. 5 stars all the way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This is an excellent book for both children and adults to read. It really shows that racism begins very young. At first Phillip didn't like his new partner, Timothy, but soon realizes that his blindness has "OPENED his EYES to racism "!!!! He was taught as a young child to dislike black people and only through his blindness does he now realize how wrong his mother was. This book teaches more of a lesson about prejudice and racism. It sometimes takes a disaster for people to " TRULY OVERCOME THEIR BLINDNESS to racism!"

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This was an awful book.
Review: This book had horrible narration, a plot that would make a dog wretch, totally undeserving of a sequel. If books were firewood, this would be on the top of my pile, first to be thrown onto the pit. None of the characters were hardly likable, except maybe Stu, thecat. Don't read this book, ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a very good book
Review: This is an outstanding book by Theodore Taylor. It is about a young boy who is on a shipwreck and was knocked out. When he woke up he was on a raft with an old black man and a cat. Later on They find an island and build a shelter. The next day the boy wakes up and he can not see. It will now be even harder for him to survive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book. A Must-Read!
Review: I had to read this in my Year 8 english subject. My Year 8 class had to read it in Sememster Two and the topic was differences. The Cay isabout a boy who is trapped in the middles of a war, and his mum get's out of the contry with him. But their boat is torpedoed by the Germans, and he is left bling on a raft with a black seaman named Timothy. He stays on a cay to survive. I won't say more, but I reccomend it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This is a average book
Review: I thought this book was okay nothing real great. But in the part with the hurricane I thought I was in it.The auther decribe it so well.But parts I did not like when Timothy called Phillip a ugly blackman I did not like the behavior of Timothy. I would rememed this book to people that like adventure.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: average book
Review: I thought this book was good in some parts like when Timothy learned how to fish and climb being blind, but one part i did not like was Timothy's attidude no kid should act like that. I would remen this book to some people.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I didn't like it
Review: Timothy was not a real black man to me. No real black man would take that kind of disrespect from a child. I didn't like the fact that the characters were seen as equals when the older man was wiser and stronger than the boy. I kept wanting Timothy to put Phillp in his place. And why is it that Timothy had to die in order for Phillp to respect him. Timothy seemed like an Uncle Tom to me. It was well written with great detail, but Tim, shouldn't have let that little boy treat him like a punk. I guess for those people who aren't convinced that blacks and whites are equal they should read this book . But as for me, I already knew that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Childhood Memories
Review: This book had such a great impact on me that 13 years after it was required reading for me in sixth grade, I am again reading it - this time for pleasure. Partly because of this book, I became an avid reader. It shows that good literature in schools does make an impact on a person.
