From Library Journal
The author of the best-selling Castaway ( LJ 4/1/84) here tells the story of her life before her famous sojourn to survive for a year with no supplies on a Pacific Island. Her first book had the appeal of an adventure and fantasy played out in real life. Her second book is a stream-of-consciousness autobiography of her adolescent years. She repeatedly runs away from school, her family, and conventional life to hitchhike around England and Europe. The problems she encounters and the strange people she lives with add to her inner turmoil. However, Irvine is a gifted writer. This book is based closely on diaries she kept during her teens, and so provides insight to the thinking of a teenager facing mental and emotional problems. A disturbing but thought-provoking work. Recommended for adult collections. Judith Nixon, Purdue Univ. Lib., W. Lafayette, Ind.
