I gave this book a 3 star rating ,because it was very hard to understand. The words were difficult to pronounce, because they were not spelled correctly. I like this book, because it very good information, if you are ever in a situation like Phillip I would recommend this book for you, if i was blind stuck on a island with nobody i would be scared if nobody was there with me. That is some information about the book The Cay, that is why you should read it.
