When he had finished my packing he bent down over me—or I could not have heard him—and said: "It's sorry I am for you, my poor boy, for you're getting just now more than your full share of troubles.

This book was written in 1898; it is a wonderful descriptive account of being shipwrecked and trapped in the Sargasso Sea. The story flows quite beautifully and I recommend it to young and old.
Interesting little survival novel about a man stuck in the Sargasso Sea. He’s forced to search through the many abandoned ships stranded in the tangled webs of seaweed for supplies while desperately longing to find the outer edge so he can escape the Sargasso Sea.
I loved this book. The language from the turn of the Century is good fun. My mother had some of that vernacular in her daily speak too.
The story telling was much better than some of the light novels I've been reading for research lately.
There’s an area in the north Atlantic where four ocean currents come together and swirl around, so anything trapped in the middle stays there. Right now it’s all plastic debris and garbage, but in the 1800's, it was supposedly the wreckages of abandoned ships, going back three or four hundred years.
Good book
I really enjoyed this one. It’s about a young man who gets on a boat and gets into one perilous situation after another.
Short story
On the whole it was interesting.
I thought the good thing was the way the story was flowing.
I didn’t like the structure or presentation, I couldn’t understand Roman numerals and other language in it.
Good but not great
Enjoyed the book but overall it was an average read. Too many just in time saves and coincidence for my tastes.
I'm not understanding the description as a 'children's book'...?
Not by a long shot.
I'm now 35% into it. This may be one of the most interesting and well written books I've ever read.
Don't miss it.
The author does a good job of making you feel all of the discomforts and fears of the main character. You actually actively wish for his redemption.
This story reminds me a little of Dante's inferno; the circles of hell, each containing those with different sins.
