Re: Favorite Part VS Least Favorite Part?

There is also a part I liked a lot on standing vigil. Tom and Sarah decided to go and stay with Myra for the night. It showed a lot of love that the two had for Myra and also for William. It is quite hard to find someone who will sacrifice for the sake of a friend.

My favorite aspect was the sea voyage jargon and theme. I just love the ocean and boats in general. My least favorite part was the religious discussion. I found it rather shallow and presumptuous. The book would be better without it, in my opinion.

My favorite part was when Myra and Sarah were in the sweat lodge and Sarah looks over and tells/asks Myra the bear between us was big wasn't it? That part had me actually smiling. :D :D :D My least favorite scene was when they radioed over to the tug to tell Louise that Larry had passed away. It was sad to read. Those were my favorite and least favorite parts, but the entire book was a great read. I enjoyed it so much.

My least favorite part was reading about when Larry’s hand and foot get severed. It just made me cringe the whole time.
I love books that have intertwining story lines. It was really interesting to get so many perspectives.

Yes and I think the author did so well with all the different viewpoints. I never felt confused about who’s viewpoint it was.

Bringing out the power of positivity through women is what drove me close to this read.

Undoubtedly, William's survival was my favourite . Louise's lack of trust in Larry just set me off, it was so annoying

My favorite part was the successful return of Seattle Express by Warhorse, even though it was not sure then that they would get anything. It was a winning moment for the underdogs despite the death of a crew member.

My least favorite part was when William was found. It felt too rushed, and it lacked emotion.

My favourite part of the book was Williams survival. Larry's demise would make my least favourite part.

Post by Sarah Schmidt »

I enjoyed the scenes where William was thought to be dead, but they found out he was actually alive. I also enjoyed the introduction to the naval side of life, if at times I found it borderline terrifying. The scenes with Larry were among my least favourite - the ones where he lost his leg and then reading about his unsuccessful struggle to survive afterwards.

My favorite part was more of an attitude. While others were standing vigil and praying to their ancestors to give William peace, Sarah held steadfast that her vision of the bear represented a positive sign.

My least favorite part was the reference to the first book. This is a standalone sequel, but by referring to the first adventure as often as it did, it felt as if it was an advertisement for the first book.

My favourite part would be when people start volunteering to look for William. It showed the community spirit. And the fact that it happened on Larry's memorial service where people known and unknown came to pay their respect, added to the moment.
My least favourite part would be in the first half when all the technical aspects were described. For someone who has zero knowledge on the subject, I was clueless most of the times.
