- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No

- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

Really just purchased this to read for childhood sentimental purposes.
But honestly a bit disappointed. Basically half the book is spent going into detail about the things he builds on the island (felt more like I was reminiscing my childhood with Bob the builder) and overall it was just really boring. For a book under 300 pages the time in which it took me to finish it should be evidence enough of how boring I found it.
Graphic: Racism and Slavery
Moderate: Colonisation
