What do You think about Wipeout! (2007)?
If you are obsessed with surfing, or wish to learn some Hawaiian, you may like this book. However, if you want a good action-packed mystery, or like quality writing, don't bother. Here's an exerpt:"I seen dat board, brah", little Puka said. "Here at Waimea?" "Naw - where wuz it?" Puka thought for a minute. "Ehukai...? Sunset...?" "You remembah da guy - blon', green eyes...?" Nah, but da board - yeah. Sunset, da guy wuz surfing Sunset." Alika turned to the other two. "You know da guy?" "Nah," they both said. "But," bear-like Mapuna adjusted his giant frame on his slim board. "My frien' Ham tol' me he surf Waimea when da haole guy ate it."And the dialogue goes on like that for several pages, like some Hawaiian Tarzan conversation, while the reader thinks "Wha...?", and the next chapter is even worse!If you read my review and still want to read this book, I am a failure at book reviews, and I apologize to you if you end up spending money on this. Luckily, I got it free...whew!
