Short and sweet

Way too predictable. Kind of a fun read on a rainy day in paradise. could have developed lots more intriguing side stories. Probably took the author as long to write as it took me to read it.

I have now read 80 of the "Wild" adventures and have always enjoyed reading the Tripp Ellis stories.

But, while somewhat entertaining, this one seemed a bit contrived, over the top and not believable. I'm hoping the next one gets back to the strengths of his writings.

Awesomely entertaining and full of twists and turns and humor! Tripp pulled out together with yet another page turning adventure with the boys. True ride or die bad assess.

Trouble on the vacation

I love reading all the adventures JD and Tyson get into. They never a disappointment. I just wished they would publish bi-weekly.

amazing

This is a different take on their adventures. Interesting, a little over the top at times and thoroughly enjoyable. Looking forward to the next book.

Another great adventure in the series. Can't go wrong with these two at the helm. Can't wait to read the next book.

What a load of far-fetched rubbish.
I’ve read a few of Tripp’s books before but this one descends to a new low in its final quarter.
I won’t be reading any more from this author.
