Stars: 1
Review by: MandyApgar
OK, this is paraphrasing of sorts but it will prove my point-
"So, we're building this colony out here. What if something goes wrong?"
"Easy. While I am out,
if something happens, just write down somewhere where you went and be
sure to ask those really nice natives for help."
"Yeah, we do know a guy from their tribe and they've offered to help. Good idea."
Time passes,
expedition returns and no colonists. Instead the name of the adjacent
island (from which reports of blonde natives soon come) is found carved
upon the agreed upon tree (and elsewhere mind you).
So where, oh where, did the colonists go?
Seriously?!?! How the
@#$% is this a mystery? They did everything but draw a bloody map. Books
like this are why I usually try to avoid texts on Roanoke, as they make
the whole thing a confounded mystery when
it is all just a case of "hey, you stupid twit, we're over here..." And
to make things worse irritating mentions of upcoming tragedy are
numerous in the text, like a sort of impending doom is taking over the
book. I like it not.
