About this deal

It was the kind of writing that looks nice and sounds nice on the surface but doesn't really do anything to draw you into the story. With little more than a cave for shelter and hunger nipping at their bellies, true natures are soon exposed; Some good, some not so much. Trebuie să înfrunți și să învingi inaniția, degerăturile, vremea potrivnică, credința, nebunia și egoismul. Each influenced the boys and Quill in different ways adding tension and depth to what could have been a story about mob mentality. Murdina also frequently appears in Quilliam's dreams causing the other island inmates to accuse the girl of witchcraft.

I’m not entirely sure what age-range this book is supposed to be aimed at, but I feel like if it had been a bit ‘darker’ (i.There is always a Lord Of The Flies possibility, but the story moves along quickly enough and the very idea of being able to survive in such a remote landscape keeps the reader occupied. In 1727, a boat set off from the sole occupied island, Hirta, dropping a small group of men and boys at Warrior Stac, a giant rock, for a fowling expedition. The whole book is written in distant third-person and generally focuses on the experiences of one of the boys, Quilliam, though it also goes omniscient every so often. Based loosely on a true story of fowlers in the year 1727, who eek out a living in a remote area of the British Isles.

The descriptions of the stac they are stranded on are so clear and beautifully explained that it really feels like you're there with them.I was left reeling and fearful, it was certainly an uncomfortable read that is not for the faint of heart, and all the more compelling for being so. Also our resources have developed, we now have plenty of boats, food and medicine to treat diseases like gangrene.
