Sole Survivor : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Great light reading with Guts!
Review: Great story telling that allows you to get to know the characters in depth. Derek Hansen has a little trouble with the female characters (a bit sexist)and the book is definitely written with the male perspective in mind... However, if you can set aside this only fault you will be pleased with a great tale of remote island recluses and their adventure off the coast of New Zealand.

Summary: outstanding read
Review: I loved this book. I read all the time and this is the best book I have read in quite awhile. I loved the chararcters and how they evolved. Yeah, for Rosie who manages the rigors of living on a remote island quite nicely. I loved all the characters, be they lovable or miserable. Even the Archie and Bonnie were interesting!

Summary: Very enjoyable vacation read!
Review: This is a great book to read while sitting on your favorite beach. The story develops slowly--allowing you time to learn more about the central characters. I found myself able to relate to them all on some level, especially Rosie. The story is touching, frightful, desperate, maniacal, and exciting. I will definately read more Derek Hansen in the future. P.S. about Archie... I'm sure Rosie and Red will come up with some "island" prosthetic of some kind! :)
