    Second the formatting is annoying in that there is an extra line feed between every paragraph

    Why the editor thought we needed both is anybodys guess but it took less than half a chapter to annoy my eyes

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Major differences between the tongan castaways and lord of the flies render the former an irrelevant commentary on the latter the tongan castaways were ages 15–17
