" I only got about halfway through this. It seemed an interesting premise. A reality TV show is based on a boat and they happen across an island that has been inhabited by all sorts of strange creatures. My problem was that it seemed that every creature was gross and nasty and not only did they eat each other (which you would expect) but they were very violent about it. It was too much guts and gore for me. I did however, like the lectures given by one scientist at Woods Hole. In fact, I may go back and read the rest of them, but I won't finish the book. NOT a beach read, in my opinion. "
