- Latest Review: Adrift by Charlie Sheldon
Even when there's Sandy's pregnancy, it is not stated outright, and often can go unnoticed until one reads the Sparknotes.
Overall, the writing is dated, and in terms of modern publishing, not the best, such as the countless uses of cliches and the paragraphs of characters' descriptions in the beginning, but the main message is an important one and it speaks to many readers. Most of the other people I know who have read the book do not even think of any language usage, but rather the connection they felt to the book and characters or the messages that everyone is going through something regardless of socioeconomic background, as well as the morals of identity and belonging.
My personal philosophy is if it is someting the child can or is experiencing, it's worth having them read it, if it interests them. I think the morals far out weigh any innappropriate language, if it's even used at all.

I was also made to read this at school. I think by being 'forced' to read something it always ruins your perspectiveNickolas Farmakis wrote: ↑28 Oct 2019, 05:20 I was also forced to read the book at school and I did not particularly enjoy it.
