I absolutely adored this novel not only for the enticing story line but also for the novel's intensely beautiful imagery. As a visual person, this book really pulled me in and it truly got me into thinking about how people can be different and it's not their fault.
This story is about Jacob who's grandfather was recently murdered. Jacob throughout the beginning of the story feels as if he's alone and at times, insane. So, like any other fiction novel, he decided to go to a mystical island to find his grandfather's old friends. This book follows the theme of morality the majority of the novel.
I really enjoyed this novel, the characters were really in depth and relatable, Ransom had a nice way of using pictures and descriptions to drag you into this fictional world.It was one of those feelings where you can feel the character's happiness, fear, etc. Something else that was beautifully used is the element of foreshadowing, although that element isn't used until the near end of the novel. One last thing that stuck out to me was just all around the storyline. There was something about the storyline that made it stand out from other novels and make it unique.
There was really nothing that bothered me about the novel, I mean at times it felt slow but that truly wasn't that big of a deal. So, yep, I think this book is a must read for really anyone. There's element all over the story that can pull almost anyone in.
I'm giving this book a 4.7 out of 5 stars. Caio!
