Book Review: Surviving Castaways
Summary: 5 Stars
Castaway's of the Flying Dutchman was an awesome book by a wonderful writer, Brian Jacques. I found myself reeled into the story as I read about the tale of Neb (Ben) and his dog Denmark (Ned). Their struggles while on the ship, the "Flying Dutchman", and then the hopes and joys they shared with others, was invigorating. A mutinous crew of thieves and cutthroats powered the dangerous ship, but Ben and Ned stayed pure hearted amongst the wickedness. When their captain was cursed as well as the rest of the crew, the boy and his dog were saved because of true hearts. Their diligence to help others and save those whom they loved was awesome to think about. Would I try to help someone in the same way? Would I care that much? Who knows, but these characters are so believable you expect them to jump out of the page and rescue you. When they had to leave another town you wondered where they would go next and how they would survive.
The two characters were in the thick of many different story lines wonderfully written by Brian Jacques. The places, such as the little villages in the book seem to be set in the twenty-first century even if they were located 200 years ago. This was a great novel about adventures, good versus evil, and the endearing story of an everlasting friendship. I suggest that anyone who loves adventure, thrill, and a good sit down book, should read this story.
