Robinson, Shakespeare....

So, I figured...well, I wanted to at least say what I think so far of this book.


.......

that is what I have to say.

As far as "killing kittens" and "killing wildlife" for no reason at all, I wonder what else you would do for fun on an island for some twenty odd years that you're sitting next to a nice warm beach, with a hut, and tropical fruit.... you'd think you'd find something else to do ...other than killing kittens.

For some reason, this book keeps reminding me of that 1980s-1990s film about the two kids who get stuck on the island, and end up growing up with each other; I think the movie is called "Blue Lagoon," the setting of that movie, is the setting in my head of this book.

It's also kind of distracting that I keep going back and forth from Robinson language to Shakespeare, for my Shakespeare class, in which we're reading ...of course, Romeo and Juliet.
So its from an island in the middle of no-where to Verona with sword fighting and "thous" and "haths" and "a plague o' both your houses!" (<--I have to say, in both films--the 1970s and the 1990s, this line is the most powerful line out of the entire play.) <3

Just like everyone (or most people) in the novel class, I'm not enjoying Robinson (the character) in this book at all, but I am learning how a character can be developed over all this time--I just dislike, and I mean, Very Much Dislike, the Way in Which the Book is Written (well, printed) Where almost Every Word is Capitalized. After a while, I have to just stop.
Take a breath.
Pull my fingers out of my head-before I loose any more hair, and take a break.

I'm looking forward to more of the other novels that are awaiting me, on the floor in my room--like "Paradise Lost," or "Moby Dick" with "I am Ishmael."

At least I'm reading and enjoying most of the works this year. :)
