I was prepared not to like this book too much based on my previous and years long inability to understand the movie or book version of The English Patient by the same author. But this book was really fun. The bulk of it takes place on an ocean liner taking a 3 week trip where 3 11ish year old boys become friends and adventurers on the boat. None are constrained by close supervision or parents and they use the trip to discover a lot about adults and the other activities on the boat. Of course there are some dark parts and the end where the boys are adults isn't as much fun but overall a winner. Maybe I don't understand the deeper meaning but really fun to read.
