Official Review: Voyage of Pearl of the Seas

[jedreid]

i've read enough reasons to enjoy this book. 1) the allusions to mythology and classic literature 2) the set of discussion questions that will get me thinking more critically about the story. and of course, 3) the gorgeous illustrations. so thanks for being thorough. good job!

What a well-structed Story! Started well and ended bad!!After going through the tale to me,It is embarking on a journey of no Return.

I am not a fan of the voyage in this story. I know definitely, it would be dull for me to follow because of the setting and the terminologies that will follow it.

I like the idea of a book that is filled with Narnia like characters, and childhood adventures. It is a shame the writer did not choose a style of writing that would draw the reader into the tale. I bought the book because I was intrigued with the subject matter and it reminded me a bit of Tom Sawyer when I read the Amazon review but it is probably going to sit on my shelf for a day when I have time to delve into this style of poetic prose sans punctuation and proper grammar.

I can't give much of a review since I only had a few pages of the book, but the excerpt posted definitely shows the writers preference for ingraining poetry into prose, which can throw a reader of balance...losing touch with the story.

I love stories that involve adventures on the ocean, but i don't think I'll be able to finish reading this book since the author employed a poetic writing style. Such narration is always cumbersome for me. Thanks for the review.

Dreamy and mystical adventure, strange and fantastical places, many interesting people, mythlogy, classic literature, inspiration, quotations, references to christian beliefs and lyrical poetic pieces, these made it all more interesting. Thanks for the detailed review. All the combinations make it unique.

I could tolerate the somewhat poetic format. The theme is whimsical, and the narrative also relates aptly. There are things which have to be different in order to create variety. Thanks for your comprehensive review, it augmented well the short sample.

It sounds very interesting. I can see where you had problems, though. All in all, I just don't think it's unique enough for me to enjoy it. The poetic nature of the story is interesting, but not something I would probably be happy with. I love stories that involve adventures on the ocean, but i don't think I'll be able to finish reading this book since the author employed a poetic writing style. Such narration is always cumbersome for me. Thanks for the thorough review.

I really conform to what other reviewers are saying concerning the book...though it was an interesting poetry, but at a point, it seems misleading, as if the author isn't too sure about what he is writing anymore...I equally gave this review a 2 stars out of 4
Yeah.. I also found this book cumbersome and not enticing for readers

[strawberrysab]

First, thanks for the review. I was intrigued by the story but, judging from the excerpt, I’m not sure that the writing style is for me.

[Sanju Lali]

beautiful prose on the tale about the characters kate and chris and their journey by sea in which they meet many obstacles and deal with them.

[camile123]

A beautiful story in which adventure is rampant. The dialogue between the two children is gripping, and the vocabulary superb. I recommend this book not only to teenagers but adults as well.

[Zelinda]

I, too, was irritated with the admixture of poetry into the story. It's probably not one I'd read, not only for that reason but because I'd rather not read YA unless I have to.

[Zain A Blade]

From the excerpt quoted, the book is neither poetic nor literal, just confusing.
