Review: I am 12 years old and I have just finished an exiting survival book called The Swiss Family Robinson. Johann Wyss originally wrote the story in the early 1800s. This book is filled with adventure, sorrow, and more! A family becomes shipwrecked on a deserted island, but they get many items from their ship including guns, ammunition, animals, and other items. They survive and thrive on this lush island, filled with everything else they need. In the beginning, a violent storm shipwrecks this family of six on two rocks near an island. The father devises a plan to get them off the ship and onto the island. Another exiting event is later, when they have become accustomed to the island, they decide to tie the heavy items left on the partially sunken ship to barrels and blow up the ship, to make the heavy items float to shore. Sadly, one day, while walking their animals, an enormous snake appeared and ate their donkey. They used this opportunity to kill the snake, but their poor donkey Grizzle was dead. If you like adventure and survival, this is a great book for you. Will the family survive? Will they ever get back to civilization? Find out by reading this book!

I have seen the film a few times, and after seeing it again recently I thought it would be nice to read the book to get more detail about the adventures. I am currently only about a third of the way through the book. I am finding it very wordy and repetitive. Flipping through the pages still to come I couldn't see any mention of the pirates or the exciting way the family got rid of the pirates at the end, nor the adventures of Fritz and Ernst when they went exploring to check whether it was an island and brought the girl back overland to the tree house. I am irritated too by the 'know-it-all' father!
