I should’ve read the reviews and noted that the fans of this author largely thought of this offering as a dud.The premise is intriguing, but the execution falls flat. The characters behave and talk like they’re imbeciles, even the ones who are highly educated and trained. I’ll elaborate on this, once the spoiler alert is posted. Unbelievable characters are amplified by unbelievable feats. For example, a woman standing in a dinghy on the ocean (pitching motion) a safe distance offshore, shoots an arrow from a primitive bow and splits the headpiece of a native up on land without injuring him, as an intended warning. The book is peppered with junk like this, which I consider the earmarks of pulp fiction.The book is short and appears to have been running even shorter. There is an excess of chasing around the island, giving the feeling that its purpose is to inflate the word count.The fleshing out of the decent plot line doesn’t make sense. (Spoiler alert) There is a small island off the coast of India that a billionaire wants to use to develop a resort. The hurdle is, it’s populated by a small primitive tribe. His solution is to kill them off. That’s a stretch, let’s continue. To accomplish this, he employs a thug and a small boat crew who aren’t particular about how they earn some money. Plan A is to spray a virus (influenza) on a bag of coconuts and throw them up on the beach to infect the natives. You can buy all the brain power in the world and that’s what you came up with? So this caper isn’t traced back to him, the mad mogul coerces a woman to pose as a government official with a mission to establish relations with the tribe and use that cover to recruit the fall guys. They select an Israeli woman living among a primitive tribe deep in a Peruvian rain forest, a Pakastani linguist hiding out in England (illegally) from pursuit by Hamas and a disgraced American ex-GI who has retreated to the deep woods of New Hampshire to drink and commit suicide. How would you even know about these people living well off the grid, much less find them? Leaping over that absurdity, you’re looking for a team that would make credible patsies to take the blame, after you made it appear that the natives killed them. There is no way anyone would believe that these three even knew about each other, hooked up and had any plausible motive to wipe out the population of the island.As one might imagine, the dupes turn the tables and prevail. This could be fodder for a decent ending but, instead, they decide to dedicate their lives to protecting the island from further intrusion, with no valid motivation, and come up with an inane way of doing it that entails assaulting innocent people and destruction of their possessions.Even with the minimal length, this isn’t worth your time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🔱 Almost at a lost for words. *by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2018* 🔱 There is nothing more that I like as to sit down with a cool drink & a good Book... I started reading this book on my Tablet purely by accident & came close to deleting it but *THEN* it grabbed my attention & I couldn’t put the darn thing down.....Page after Page , I just couldn’t stop , just had to find out what happen on the next page...I finally had to stop as the words were getting blurred from lack of sleep....... You want to read an AWESOME book , please read this one !!!!!!!!!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Disappointing *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019* As part of an expedition funded by the Indian government and supported by a local resort millionaire, the team struggles to make contact with the Sentinelese, a tribal people renowned for their violence, strange behavior, and mysterious ways. But when the expedition’s yacht strikes a reef, and sinks, the team finds themselves stranded on an island few people have ever set foot on and survived, an island that they quickly discover is home to far more than primitive tribal people.I expected a lot more from Forbidden Island by Jeremy Robinson. The book description (above) intrigued me enough to purchase the book and then the first 50% of the story had me hooked. However, from that point on, the story seemed to lapse into kind of a limbo - a continuous game of hide and seek without an end in sight.During that time, the team learns the real reason behind their expedition and also discover that the islanders can't be killed. In fact, they discover healing powers in both the drinking water and from the sunlight that filters through the canopy. It gets weird from then on as they later uncover evidence of biblical proportions and realize these tribal people are guardians of an island that may go back to the beginning of time. The odds are against them ever leaving Forbidden Island alive.The ending is unbelievable. Per readers who follow this author, they claim in reviews that this work is subpar as compared to others that he's written. I will not be reading any of this authors other books. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/52017436-forbidden-island](https://www.desertcart.in/products/52017436-forbidden-island) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
