Summary: Very enjoyable vacation read!
Comment: 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! :)

Summary: Great light reading with Guts!
Comment: 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: Spare yourself the sexist issues, enjoy the story!
Comment: I was so attracted to the previews of this book, I mistakenly bought 2 of them. The plot, story line and book cover are all enticing. I was intrigued by the story focusing on people attempting to be self sufficient in a harsh yet sensitive environment. I could see where one depending on their surroundings for sustenance would be aggressively protective if that environment was being threatened.

I will be straight up; the author is not always sensitive when it comes to the way he handles his women. He is condescending and sexist, but, this is in character with an old navy officer. Is this appropriate? Who cares..it is a good story . Besides, one could argue that Rosie, the female member of the trio living on this barren habitat, is quite comfortable with her sexuality and is comfortable acting on her sexuality.

So, if you can spare yourself the temptation to force your sexual and sexist issues on this story, you will find yourself vastly entertained and in for a wonderful adventure. I loved the story and wish for a sequel.
