review 1: Suka...petualangan lautnya keren. Meskipun si Sebastian Darke ini tampaknya bukan tipe pahlawan favorit saya. Lemah terhadap wanita dan perlu banyak keberuntungan. Tapi saya suka sama sifat Sebastian yang sangat menyanyangi Max.Di sini Sebastian, Cornellius dan Max berpetualang mencari harta karun di sebuah pulau terpencil. Masalah pertama mereka temui saat melewati hutan dimana ada penyihir wanita cantik yang jahat. Masalah berikutnya terjadi di lautan di mana dengan kapal Sea Witch yang dikapteni oleh seorang kapten perempuan bernama Jenna, mereka harus menghadapi perompak dan pelaut licik. Menemukan harta karun tersebut bukan berarti berhasil mendapatkannya. Terutama karena ada gangguan dari si penyihir dan pelaut licik.
review 2: Thoughts on the Overall Boo... morek: I thought it was a good book, it wasn't great, but it wasn't the worse thing I have read either and I did enjoy it. It was a classic adventure story, and if it was a bit cliché, than that is just typical of the genre, so I'm okay with that.Characters: Sebastian, Cornelius and Max are a fun trio, and again typical of the adventure genre. I enjoyed their banter and how they interacted with each other. I also liked Jenna a lot, though I was afraid she was going to be one of those "I can rule the world" women because she was a ship's captain. She wasn't anything like that though, and for that I'm grateful. Yes, she and Sebastian had a little of romantic interest between them, but it was not distracting to the story-line. I also like the Kid, he was actually one of my favorite characters. The villains, I think should have been better crafted, because they weren't really evil enough nor were they in the book enough. Leonora was scary and evil, but there should have been more of her.Problems/What bothered me:The problem with the baddies mentioned above mostly, and also it seemed that all the fight scenes between the characters and the villains should have been longer and more suspenseful, but that is my only main complaint. As I said, this isn't the best book I've read, but I don't really have anything else to complain about either.Conclusion: 3 stars. I wish I could have been able to find the first one to read first. It's not really necessary to this story to do so, but I think it might be a better story. I do want to read the other books in the series.Recommended Audience: Young teens or older who enjoy adventure stories. There was no bad content or language so it could be read by anyone 12 and up, I would say. It's an easy read and if you're looking for something meatier, you might be disappointed by it, but as a fun summer read it's good. less
