I liked this book. It was pretty good.

pretty good
OK, not her best work, and I am slightly disapointed that Nick never stands up the Bootie, (sorry, possibly a bit of a spoiler) and I would have liked a bit more action.

Well...I found Stowaway..in a way interesting but not as much as the books I like to read ..it was a little on the boring side..although I am a girl..and its not really a girly book I don't think as you would know I am into the princess diaries kinda thing! But although I had to read it I did find it at least a bit interesting toward the middle of the book!


Thanks

hi
It was awesome in the beginning but as they sailed on it got boring. The author draged out somethings that didn't need to go on so long.

The book got kind of boring and repetitive after you pass page 15.

It is an alright book. I like the fact that they date back to 1700's and talk about being on a ship in that time.
