Jen K dfinedzine — It’s interesting to read books that were written a long time ago; the writing style is so obviously different from what is produced today, that it’s no wonder people sometimes have a tough time getting into an older novel. While I didn’t have a hard time getting in to R.M. Ballantyne’s The Coral Island, the writing style was pretty different and a little preachy by the end. Ralph, Jack and Peterkin (yes, really) are ship’s boys on a British sailing vessel when they are marooned on an island in the South Pacific after a storm. Luckily for them, the island has pretty much everything they need to stay alive and things go well for them; they have several exciting adventures, including one where they meet penguins, and they have a grand time. But once a group of natives lands on their island, the whole story goes down hill. The natives fight each other, and then sail away again, and then there are pirates that come to the island, and Ralph is kidnapped and taken away, but he makes it back, and it feels kind of tacked-on and it’s not as much fun as the first part. The Coral Island is definitely a part of the long line of marooned-on-a-desert-island stories that include Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island, and while it’s not as good as either of those, the first part of the story is a lot of fun and an interesting look at entertainment in the middle of the 19th century.

Sara Ro sararomero — “I, Roger Williams, once called passionate, precipitate, and divinely mad, New England’s gadfly, firebrand in the night, do slump upon the ground this day in late June of the most disastrous year of the my life, 1676, like a stove hulk.” In this work of historical fiction, Mary Lee Settle attempts to present a portrait of the real-life founder of Rhode Island and defender of religious freedom, Roger Williams. Based on Williams’ own correspondence and historical records, Settle gives a voice to this seventeenth century American hero. As a lover of history, I really appreciated Settle’s fine research and accounts of the struggles between the rights of man and king, and the rise of Puritanism in England and it’s effects on the New World. In addition, I loved her presentation of first person narrative. The eloquent writing style truly made you feel as if you were in the room with Williams telling his life story. That said, it was a slow read for me. I didn’t adapt to the writing style as easily as I do to Shakespeare, but the pace was the only downside for me. This was a remarkable and enjoyable book!
