This book makes for a very quick read, due to the simplicity of the illustrations and lack of text on most pages.
I didn't find this book very engaging, since it's a little lacking in character development, and there is almost no interaction between characters. We spend most of our time in silence on a lighthouse island, with the lonely protagonist. We are given little hints of his personality, which make him likeable, but since he doesn't have much to do on the island, the book is as repetitive and dull as the character's life probably has been.
This book take a lot of pages to tell a tiny, simple story, and I didn't find it memorable. If the protagonist had spent some time in a different location, the book might have been significantly more engaging, as the author clearly has creative ideas and writing ability, but they just aren't given the chance to shine here. 2.5 stars.
