[Jacques · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bien ejecutada novelita infantil.

Con una trama relativamente simple, Thompson nos deja caer pequeños comentarios sobre la cultura, la cosmovisión de Fiji y otros pueblos del pacífico, del medioambiente, del colonialismo. Todo de manera muy inocente. Me tuvo tenso por momentos. Thompson, admito, me capturó con su estilo.

En general, muy bien:
