Summary: A great book
Review: i liked sweet friday island a lot it was very different than most of the books i read so when i my libraian recomended it i thought i would read it. I was hesitant at first because the beggining was a bit boring but after 15 or so pages it got really interesting i finished it in 2 hours thats 1 day! it was very nice to read although it ended very quickly which i didnt like if it had a better ending and a more interesting beginning i would have given it 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!! Amazing!! Couldn't put it down!!
Review: I loved this book! I know want to get my own copy. This book totally captivated me in every way. It has an amazing story plot and climax. If Iwas the author I would have changed the ending though. It ended to abrubtly, no downhill climax. But still it was great. I would recomend this book to anyone who enjoys books on survival or exploring, or just likes to read a wonderfully captivating book! :-Þ

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Suspencful
Review: I really liked this book because I love suspencful adventurous books and this was one of the best ones I ever read. I was at the edge of my seat when they first got stranded. Ithought they were going to be there for a really long time. I also couldn't put the book down when Peg's father first got sick because she didn't have the survival kit so I wanted to know what she was going to use. I would recommend this book to any one because this book is seriously that good. I loved it. It was very suspencful and full of adventure.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This book was okay but it could have been so much better.
Review: I thought that this book was totally messed up with strange plot and characters, who never really made sense to me throughout the entire book. The story skipped around a lot and I was constantly confused by the way the author worded it and the way scenes suddenly changed. Although it had some bad points, I felt that the storyline was great and had some good ideas that really held my interest up to the climax. If I had to rate it I'd give it threee stars because it was a good book but it could use a lot of work to make it great. The beginning was so boring and I almost gave up on it and it took a long time for me to understand why I needed to know what they were talking about. I would recomend this book to anyone who's as patient as I am because a lot of people would not want to read the rest of the book and quit after the first few chapters. I think this book deserves the title of 'by far the strangest book I've ever read.' I was disappointed because I thought the ending was so stupid compared to the good parts of the book. The end was way too rushed and I truly thought that it could be much better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sweet Friday Island
Review: This book is a about a teenager named Peg and her father. Every year they go camping. However, this time they camp out in the wrong place. On a island in Mexico there is a crazy man in the area. This island is the one Peg is going to. Although they have been warned to not visit this islad they still do. Once on the island their boat was destroyed by the man. Peg and her father worked to servive all the harsh things the man does. Then her father decides to kill him before he kills them. They make gasoline bombs. However pegs father is ill and she is forced to protect her father with the bombs. When through one at him in the cave and retrived their things. Later they learn he is a crimanal one the run and is still alive. A few years later Peg returns to the iland one last time to learn that the same woman who warned they of the danger was that crazy man's wife.
My favorite part in this book is when is when Peg goes in search of the man. She goes around the island and finds him in his hut. She lights the straw hut on fire. Somehow he is able to get away. then she chases him into a cave. she realizes he is trapped and throws one of the bombs. the blast seferly injured him.
I liked this part because it got me excited. I forgot I was reading. All these images in my head. The text was very descriptive. The ending was fast and different from other endings.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It made chills go through my body.
Review: This book was fantastic. It scared my while I was reading and seemed so realistic. The end is excellent, too, and makes sense, while other books can throw you off at the ending or seem really stupid.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wonderful book! Fantastic story line!
Review: This book was one of the best adventure books I have read. The story was wonderful and believable. It kept me on the edge of my seat, wanting to keep on reading. I rated this book only four stars because the beginning could have been better and the ending was to abrupt.
