“Response: I liked and easily got hooked to this story because it was unique and very different from other books I read in the past. I especially like how the island was described as because I can clearly see what the author is trying to say. Another thing which makes this story unique is the use and importance of symbolism in this story which is hard to find in many other books. I am around half way through this story and I'm looking forward to finishing this book as it is one of my favorites so far.”

“Ralph was the voice of reason. I felt for him all the way through. This was a real thriller. A warning not to become hunters. Very cultural book. ”

“Again, this is a classic, canonical high school novel that I managed to not read while in high school. As a soon-to-be high school teacher, it seems only right that I've read this novel before setting foot into a classroom. ”

“One of my all-time favorites. Compelling tale of the loss of innocence and the evil that exists in so many.”
