never have been in one of the hundreds of the gre"k islands in the
Mediterranean sea, but when i read this book i felt that i want to go there and i
ho$e i will go when i grow u$, but i didn!t like the history, be"ause it have a lot
of des"ri$tions of the island and of where they are and be"ause it doesn!t have
a"tion or fi"tion, only a #istery, but is good book for anyone who likes the

So, i didnt liked the history in itself but i liked that #istery and where it ha$$en
and i like how Mary Stewart have done so#e "ara"thers. .lso, the des"ri$tions
are so good, you "an i#agine what is ha$$en $erfe"tly.
