uninteresting and boring

This book was one of the challenge summer reading books for my school but I can honestly say that it was easy read, boring, and uninteresting. I came to this conclusion after reading the first 2 chapters and I would not suggest this book to any of my peers.

STOWAWAY

Stowaway is a very good book although at some parts of the book, it can get very boring with not much going on. Try reading it now. You have a 99 chance of liking Stowaway.

slow,boring and dreaded

I got this book for a school project. the back and cover made it seem good, but it got boring to me after 2 days. I understand the book but it was so boring that it took me over 3 weeks to finish even though I skipped parts. So many dead people. So many mean people like the butcher and the captain. There are also so many people that it gets confusing!

Slow Read

Stowaway was a very slow read for me. I would read it for an hour or two, and nothing I had read in that time had been climactic what so ever. The fact that the book is written in a journal form makes it more interesting, but overall it was not an enjoyable read to me. I recommend reading it when there is nothing else to do for a long amount of time, only if you have a plethora of patience.
