Commentary During Books The Raft

Robie is an experienced traveler. She's taken the flight from Honolulu to the Midway Atoll, a group of Pacific islands where her parents live, many times. When she has to get to Midway in a hurry after a visit with her aunt in Hawaii, she gets on the next cargo flight at the last minute. She knows the pilot, but on this flight, there's a new co-pilot named Max. All systems are go until a storm hits during the flight. The only passenger, Robie doesn't panic until the engine suddenly cuts out and Max shouts at her to put on a life jacket and she sees him struggle with a raft.

And then...she's in the water. Fighting for her life. Max pulls her onto the raft, and that's when the real terror begins. They have no water. Their only food is a bag of Skittles. There are sharks. There is an island. But there's no sign of help on the way.

Criticize Out Of Books The Raft

I don't know what is more interesting...this book OR the fact that this is the second book in a row that I have read about survival after a plane crash. I worry it might be the latter. I'm not quite sure how this happened except to say that I have been looking for fast-paced, easy reads lately and I'm kind of known for putting books on hold with abandon! Anyway, two survival books in a row and I found neither to be particularly memorable. I can't see myself recommending either book but they were

I gave this book 5 stars.Plot Summery-What could be worse? Robie, a teenage girl from islands near Hawaii, always asked herself ths question when somehig bad was about to happen so she knew what was going to happen wasn't that bad, but after living through a plane crash in salty shark infested water she now knows what can be worse, because she undured the worst. The plane is about to go down as Max, the plane's co-pilot, pushes Robie out into the waters below and then jumps in himself. She is

WARNING. THIS MAY CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS. BUT ONLY TO GET MY POINT ACROSS Ok, When I say this book is bad.. It's a TRUE understatement. The whole book, plot and everything seems SO FORCED. The reason why she's too scared to stay in Honolulu -FORCED AND NOT PRACTICAL No random homeless guy is going to pull on your hair and NO ONE is going to say anything before he's too close for comfort. PLUS Some homeless guy isn't gonna scare you to the point that you just wanna go home. Just an act of poor

Right away I related to Robie in this story. I too remember being home alone with my over active imagination, completely freaking myself out at night. It is no wonder she left the island early to go home instead of spending another scary night all by herself, I would have done the same thing.Of course I would hope that I would have at least told someone where I was going, a note maybe? Something?And then the worst happens. Something that everyone fears and thinks about as they board a plane to

An amazing book from start to finish, I loved it. So many emotions of fear, uncertainty, guilt, etc flowing through the reader. What I enjoyed most about this book is the great plot line of being out on sea, ALL ALONE. No food, no water, no cell phone, no ONE! And the worst part, the thought that you could possibly die a slow death if no one finds you. I admit that, that thought right there makes me shiver. I think I'd go crazy or worse kill myself so that I don't have to do it slowly. How Robie

4/5 Stars!Summary:Have you ever thought about what you would do it your plane went down in the middle of the ocean? Well this gives us a pretty good idea. Robie is on her way back to Midway Atoll from Honolulu and visiting her aunt. The trip is a bit unplanned but she's flown a lot so no need to worry. Right?Dislikes:I would have liked a bit more set up in the beginning and possibly a bit more meat to the book in general.Likes:The plot twist. Seriously did not see that coming at all and was

The Raft was such a fast read. I was gobbling up the book and finished it in one sitting. While I was on a 7 hour airplane ride. Now I only mentioned where I read this book because The Raft is about an airplane ride gone wrong. The airplane crashes and the main protagonist ends up having to survive using only a raft and Max. So imagine how my nerves were every time we hit turbulence; my stomach would drop down to my feet. However I believe that actually made me enjoy the book even more! Robie
