MEH.
It is so boring and un-amusing for those of us who are above the reading level. It is extremely detailed and it just keeps going on and on. Plus, due to the journal layout, it isn't too fun to read because it's an awful transition-er. I really dislike it. Once again, IT'S SO BORING.

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.


This book was interesting at parts but then got very boring. I had to read this book for school and i didnt like it as much as i thought i
would!!!!!!!!!In fact i am in school right now doing a web page on it!

Stowaway is a really boring book. I had to read it for the school book reading and I fell asleep on page 10.
val

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.

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!
needs to be a little more descriptive.

I fell asleep.
The book was not very impressive to me. I had fallen asleep each time I read it and that got me ticked off. But I had to read to the end and I skipped half the book.
