The Island by Gary Paulsen

   I had a bit of trouble getting through this book because it is about a boy who spends a lot of time on an island looking at nature and I kept wanting to go do it myself instead of reading about him doing it. It's basically a story about a boy trying to find out more about himself and the world around him through an island. That's actually all I really have to say.
   This isn't like the books I normally read. Not much really happens, but at the same time a lot of stuff happens? Honestly, it's more of a thinking book than an adventure book. Does that make sense? There's a little section before each chapter that has some sort of profound story and lesson that the main character had learned in the past. Explaining this book would negate reading it. I don't know; I think it was pretty good but it's not one of those books you have to read. I never read those for one thing.
   I think I need to get other people's opinions on this one... but I think only one person I know might have read this book.
   I have no criticisms. Yes, this is really me. I know it's scary, but this was a  pretty decent book.
   Rating: Good.
   Read again? Probably not but it's possible. Actually, yes; I'll probably like it better the second time.
   You read?Yes.
