becca_osborn 's review for:
Island of the Blue Dolphins
by Scott O'Dell
I started this book planning to feel underwhelmed, and I was surprised how much I liked it.
A girl lives by herself on an island for 18 years (based on Robinson Crusoe?). A lot of stuff happens and a lot of stuff doesn't. But I still kept reading. O'Dell's primitive descriptions made the book (namely, the main character) more realistic.
I feel it was deserving of the awards it received. Not my very favourite book, but it's well-written.
