I don't read a lot of contemporary but a survival story? That I will jump on. There were things I enjoyed about The Raft - the suspense, the terror, the wondering - and thing I just didn't - some things were just too "easy" the way they happened.
When the plane Robie is on starts to go down, Max (the co-pilot) throws her out, saving her life, and gets her on the raft. After that Robie and Max are left to float around in the warm waters of the Pacific without any food, water More...

THE RAFT is the story of 15-year-old Robie. Robie knows she's a very lucky girl - she lives on Midway island, after all. Her parents are research biologists and she knows a ton about ocean fish and seabirds. She's also a very unlucky girl, she thinks, because her internet blinks out for days at a time and her television gets only three channels. She has no cellph More...

When Robie gets on a last minute cargo flight back to her homeland she really has no idea what she's in for. This type of plane can only hold a specific amount of weight-meaning that all passengers and their cargo NEED to be weighed before take off. Robie unfortunately sleeps through that part.
That’s actually one thing I noticed about this book, Robie slept a lot. She would be doing something and then all of the sudden drift off or be startling awake. I personally think it kind of to More...

Overall, it was a easy book to read in one sitting. I kept reading because I really wanted to know what would happen to Robie. And, because it was so short, it was really easy just to devour it all in one sitting. However, this book had lots of things that didn't work for me.
First off, I didn't like Robie. She makes the stupidest decisions ever and keeps on making stupid mistakes. She also is just so annoying and self-conceited. And then, surprise, More...

My Thoughts: This isn't a bad novel, its just not my kind of novel that I would usually read. I'm more into young adult romance or paranormal novels. I don't read many about survival.
The Raft starts off with Robie visiting her aunt. Robie is only 15 years old. Her aunt gets called away so Robie is left alone for a few days. She gets bored and decides to go on home so she books a flight and starts on her journey ho More...

I read this book in one sitting and found it interesting enough. I wanted to know what was going to happen in the end even though I kinda had an idea. The main character Robie is a bit self centered at times, but hey. Overall the story was good and I liked it despite not liking Robie that much.

Not really sure what I feel about this one yet. I liked it. But there were definitely things I... didn't love. But then things changed and I did love them and then... Well...
Maybe I just need to process this one a bit & let my mind sort it out so I know if I like who it all came together, or if I still feel like there are pieces missing.
