Overall score:

I scored this book 4/5

Short Summary of the book:

An explorer, his wife and colleagues set out to explore an island. There has been talk of ape-men living and ruling in the area and they are keen to find out what’s true and what isn’t. The exploration takes an unexpected turn when they fall victim to a warrior tribe.

What I liked about the book:

The story was enjoyable.

What I didn’t like about the book:

Although the author has done a lot to combat and conquer his dyslexia, the formatting and grammar distracted somewhat from the story.

My favourite bits in the book:

When one of the group became an unexpected hero.

My least favourite bits in the book:

Unfortunately, that is the same as mentioned above. The book was lovely as was the story but quite difficult to read at times due to duplication of words and sentences occasionally stopping where they should not have yet. Professional editing would benefit this author as his ideas and stories are very good.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

The author has written several books already and can be proud of all he has achieved under difficult circumstances.

What books could this be compared to and why?

The book has a Indiana Jones feel to it.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children
No
Young Adult
Yes
Adult
Yes

If you like adventure stories this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.
