Disapointing Kensuke's Kingdome

I just finished a book called Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. I think that Kensuke's Kingdom was good and then it was bad then good then bad again, then it had a bad ending. I thought that the author could have put in way more events in the book and could have made it more exiting. I think that this book would be good for a stranded on an island person, but not a sci-fi/action guy like me.
I don't like this book because to there are to many uneventful things in it. For an example when the main character is stranded on an island he always does the same thing for a lot of the book: sleeps, eats, swims and walks around. It gets REALLY boring. I mean come on! Another boring example is when michael makes friends with Kensuke they do the same thing: they fish, painted trees on shells and make food. I mean what is the problem with putting a little tiny bit of humor or action hear and there.
I was mostly bored for, well the most of the book. the only part that wasn't boring was the beginning. Who doesn't think that sailing around the world would be awesome. Well the problem with that in a ''stranded on an island'' book is that you automatically know that the character is going to fall off. After that he finds himself on an island and we end up back in the last paragraph. Another thing that was boring was the end I can't say the ending but you can still guess what happens it was lame and uneventful.
I think that the author should have put in more detail and eventful things. Like when Michael was exploring the only thing you know about the forest was the noise and the height of the trees. You don't even know what kind of trees they were. If I were Michael
Morpugo I would have made my story funny, eventful and not boring.
Basically what I'm trying to say is that the book was really boring and not for me! I would
rate this book 1/2 trees.

  1. Seth,
    Your post was really detailed. I like how you had hummer in your speaking like this time "I mean come on! "
    I like how you

    Your assertion was a bit different then your examples because you only had examples for bad things but in your assertion you said it was good and bad.
