I am far too inquisitive and have apparently watched too many movies. I was absolutely bored through 90% of this classic book! Too many questions went unanswered - why did the plane crash? why didn't they search for the little boy? what exactly happened to the little boy? what was the beast? I was hoping for waaaay more action...either pygmies or Others, polar bears (see? too many episodes of Lost) or dinosaurs. Something (anything!) that could hold my attention. But because it's a classic, I held on and continued to read.
Lo and behold, the last five pages and my perseverance paid off. Those pages were the most exciting of ANY book I've read recently. I could barely breathe!
