I can't truthfully say that I liked this book very much - am I the only one who found the way it was written a little bit twee?
The fact that I didn't particularly like its style doesn't mean that I didn't find it enjoyable - I did, but overall I felt that it took something away from Materena's wisdom and the book's message.
In it's favour, it was very easy to read in that I could put it down then pick up again without losing the thread, and the way that tahitian family life was described was very believable. There were times when I could almost feel the sunshine and the love that Materena had for her daughter and the other members of her family.
I'd guessed how the book was going to end before I got there but even so still had tears in my eyes like Snoopy2 when I reached the last page.
Yet again this is another Eyes Down book that I would never have picked of the shelf myself, and although I didn't particularly take to the style in which it was written I'm glad I was given the opportunity to read it so thanks Sealover.
