    Excellent Read!

    The Great Wide Sea was a great book to read. I thought the way that the story was told through the eyes of the older brother Ben was excellent. This book dealt with issues that young children face everyday. It is a story of how to grieve and how to survive when life throws you curve balls. Ben and his brothers are put to the ultimate test when they have to deal with the death of their mother and then when their dad decides to uproot them and take them on a boat and turns up missing. Seeing how the boys come together to deal with the hand that life has dealt them is amazing. It would motivate any person no matter what age to pick themselves up and live life no matter what the circumstances. It was a great book! I loved it!

    Wonderful Read!

    This book is like a diamond in rough. I was enthralled by the character development and story. The relationship between these brothers is very tender and believable. The survival element is also fantastic. Absolutely terrific read...couldn't put it down!

    Loved it!

    Written with thoughtful insight into the relationships between these three brothers, their father and their lost mother. This is also an exciting story of sailing and survival with lots of plot twists along the way. Just an all around great read!

    Not a Good Read

    I did not think that this book was all that it's cracked up to be.It seems like as soon as they get stranded on the island, nothing is considered. Let's go back to the broken sailboat in our homemade little boat to grab some old water, never mind those waves! Oh, look, we've been rescued a day after we've gone LOOKING to be rescued.
    The whole book was very predictable.
    I would not recommend this book at ALL.
