I just finished Uncharted by Angela Hunt. I have difficulties in deciding whether or not I like this book. It's the story of 5 friends from college who get stranded on an island with little hope of rescue. I do want to say that I got sucked in by the characters and wanted to see what would happen, but I don't feel the writing was the best. Spoilers ahead....
The friends end up on the island after another college friend dies in a car accident. At the funeral the man's wife asks the 5 friends to go to the Marshall Islands with one of the college professors to help build a school that he was planning to build. On the way to the Marshall Islands, the friends all decide to take a boat over to the islands instead of waiting for a plane due to bad weather. They shipwreck and the Captain, his son, and the professor don't make it to the island. Once on the island weird things start happening.
On the back of the book, it says this story is comparable to Lost. I would say it is a little like Lost based on the ending, but no where near as exciting as Lost. I was really disappointed in the ending. I understand the basic message, but have lots of questions. Sometimes "religious" themed books just have you questioning more at the end than you did at the beginning.
