Christy's Reviews > The Skeleton Tree

Rating: 2.5

I really liked Thursday; he really is a smart and kind raven. The relationship and growth between Chris and Frank was interesting as well, even though I was annoyed by Frank's treatment of Chris. The beginning was very promising, but there was a lot of repetition (fishing, fighting between the boys, etc), so the longer they were on the island, the more the story dragged. The story also had some fantastical elements surrounding the animals, which I wasn't too fond of since it felt out of place for a survival story.

(view spoiler)[I'm surprised they lived as long as they did considering the fact that they ate uncooked (and rotten) fish. Not to mention the fact that Frank's hand injury was bad. (hide spoiler)]
