Doesn't measure up to his others. It was just ok, not great and not a waste of time but fairly disappointing in light of the fact that I enjoyed his others so much more. There were too many devastating events for it to be realistic as well.

My son loved this book. I am so glad to find another series he will enjoy. He read it quickly and went on to read the next one. Thanks PBS!

I have read all of her books and this one is terrible. I have read 170 pp and am stopping. Horrid. So glad I didn't buy it.

Disappointing for Conroy. Clearly not his best work. I have read all of his books, this one doesn't even seem like it could have been written by him. Characters are somewhat superficial, story isn't plausible and add to that, the story just drags. Not very interesting. It starts off well with his great writing style and because it is Conroy, I wanted to keep reading. But it just gets harder and harder to stay with the book. Three stars for his writing.


A Trip to the Beach: Living on Island Time in the Caribbean
Review Date: 8/15/2012
Helpful Score: 3


The writing was of poor quality and in fact juvenile. I so wanted to like this book but it was tiresome and hard to understand why they did this at all. I just was underwhelmed and grew bored with the book. I could not recommend it.
