I bought this as my first Kindle download & I was new to that experience.  I was really surprised at how good it was for the price.  This was also my first book by Hamilton and his imagery in this book is fantastic.  He had me hooked at the onset with the ship in the storm setting.  The entire island setting is described so well I can still see it in my minds-eye.One note worth mentioning, I didn't realize that this is categorized as a "young adult" novel.  I'm in my 50's and sensed early on that may have been the case. It wasn't until the end of the book and reading about the author that I learned this to be his first "young adult" novel.  I didn't see that description on the Amazon page and if it was, then the error was mine, I don't blame the author at all. Regardless, it is a very well written book, it's fun, adventurous, and quick read.I have no problem recommending it to young or old folks.
