Submarine Outlaw
By Phillip Roy
This was an interesting idea, but not my favorite book. I prefer more information about relationships and less in details on machinery and construction. I can see this would appeal to different readers.
I didn't really like the book, it had some good parts. I think that you can't really get away from the Coast Guard because it is a huge ship and a kid can't really go to sea. I still kind of liked it.
Submarine Outlaw was good but had too much conversation and bad dialogue tages. It is not interesting if you have to figure out who is speaking
submarine outlaw was a good book but it had a lot of conversation in it and had a lot of mechanical stuff.
I thought this book was really boring because I skipped through the describing of the boat so the setting of the book made nooooo sense whatsoever!!!!!!
I thought it was really cool how he built a submarine and went to sea with it!!
This book was really great the choices the main character had to make where really interesting to the writer almost made the characters seem realistic. The making of the submarine really impressed me it makes me want to make something cool. I like the little companions he got on his journey, a seagull and dog what a pair. I give this book a 9%10 it had some errors but still it had a good story and cast.
love love love love love love love love love love this book
Is a kid really going to drive a submarine?
I thought that Submarine Outlaw was a book that I will read again in about a year. The book shows that if you put your mind to something that you can achieve and you might go far.
I loved it. There's adventure, and action, and courage, friendship, and danger. its amazing how a 14 year old boy builds his own submarine that he can actually live in. most 14 year old boys i know don't even have jobs let alone a submarine. I'll say one thing it really got my attention i didn't even want to go to bed at 11:00 at night I was so into it. if you read this book and don't like I'll be surprised
I think this book is very cool. My favorite part is when he finds the dog and when he comes back home from his submarine trip! That is why this is my favorite book!
