Thank you so much for appreciating my work!LV2R wrote: ↑14 Oct 2018, 04:09I, too, enjoyed reading this book about Matthew and Ryan, who had two distinct personalities and relied on each other to survive and find a way off the island. I liked the lessons of never giving up, taking risks, and facing challenges. I liked how you stated your rating of the book. Nice job!Sahani Nimandra wrote: ↑02 Feb 2018, 03:11 [Following is a volunteer review of "Island Games" by Caleb J. Boyer.]
I have had my fair share in reviewing books but this is truly one of the best book that I have come across, which was completed for utter perfection. Not only does the book offer a fun and adventurous ride to its readers, it also reflected on the author’s mind-set. The Island Games: Mystery of the four quadrants by Caleb J. Boyer is truly a remarkable book that reflects on valuing friendship, exercising the importance of team work and how to develop a strong character.
I found myself drowning through pages, and I asked what would I do if I had to face that kind of situation? The plot was very engaging and it never reduced my curiosity. I believe the author has achieved what he had worked hard for. His imagination truly gives credit to him. The story provided an insightful detail about the reality of life. Lessons like the life challenges that each of us has to battle fearlessly, importance of having a positive and never-give-up attitude, learn to embrace opportunity and appreciate what you have in life, learn to take risks and use their intuitions, was highlighted throughout.
The story ended on a cliffhanger but the author had provided his reasons. The purpose of writing this book as mentioned by the author was to inspire others to believe in themselves and to realize that any obstacle can be overcome; I couldn't agree more! There was no hindrance what so ever that kept me away from giving a 4 out of 4 stars. The message was admirable and I would like to share a quote from the book, “...it's not really about what life throws your way, because bad things can happen and often times to really good people. It’s really about how you face those challenges.”- Matthew, Page 180.

Thank you for commenting! I'm glad you saw through that.Espie wrote: ↑14 Oct 2018, 21:13 We could never really fully realise how difficult situations could be unless we actually find ourselves facing such. However, books could indeed have the potency to equip us with the realisations without the painful process that others had to undergo to acquire them. I respect and admire people who accept realities but constantly strive to be and do better than before. Thank you for your insightful review.
