I did not like this book. I did not like this because there was not enough action in it. It was not exciting or funny. Another reason I did not like this book is because I don't like mystery books.
My favorite character in this book is Johnny. I like Johnny because he is the only character with a little sense of humor. The character I liked the least is Julia. I odn't like her because in the whole book she only says a few sentences.
My favorite part of the book was when a crocodile in the river was attacking Johnny. I liked this part because it had some action in it. The part that I liked the least was when Johnny was tlking to the Indians. I did not like this part because I don't like when people talk for a long time.
I picked this book because I looked at the cover and I thought it would be a good book to read. I read the back of it and I thought the book would be really exciting. When I read the book, I knew this book was boring.
I recommend this book for people who like mystery books. I do not recommend this book to anyone that likes action and excitement.
