Dr. Franklin's Island is an incredible story filled with well developed, believable characters that seem like they could walk right out of the book, themes that give the book meaning on many different levels, and pieces of action, suspense, and mystery that make the book sparkle. The well polished storyline hooks readers, and the narration gives a fascinating and well-understood yet uniquely differnt point of veiw on the events. The charactors have a mental strength that makes them shine from within and helps them come through their ordeal in the book, but they are also realistically vulnerable and it is this that makes this book appeal to both teens today.The author puts in a few very modern issues, like the plane hijack and genetic experimenting, that make Dr. Franklin's Island more than just a good fiction book. Dr. Franklin's Island is the kind of book that stands in a catagory of it's own and can be read again and again. If you are looking for something that is unique, special, and totally different than anything else on a bookshelf, Dr. Franklin's Island is the right book. This book is incredible, irresistable, and totally worth it.
