Pj asked:

Why am I having problems with the beginning of this book? My pet peeve of using to many 'I's and 'You' in prose... is there a plot? Should I just go ahead and watch the movie? (I'm usually a classic reader, but this book was such the rave....I usually go against the flow of popular)

Sheherazahde It took me literally 3 years to finish reading this book.
It was a hard slog in the middle. Being lost at sea is boring.
It picks up around chapter 84, when he sees a whale. And there is lightning storm in chapter 85. In Chapter 92 he finds a floating island. That was pretty cool.
There are exactly 100 chapter. that helped.
Julia Pj, try the movie if you haven't already! I've only seen the beginning which I found light and endearing. It made me smile and want to read the book what I am now doing... finding it hard to go through the castaway part!!
Stephanie When my brother lent me the book he said the first 100 pages are very hard to get through but the book is amazing. He is right. Stick with it. You will love the book. The beginning is tedious but essential!
