Wreckage edition by Emily Bleeker Literature Fiction eBooks

In my opinion, it's more important THAT someone reads, rather than focusing on WHAT someone reads, but with that being said, I can't recommend this particular "what."

Sophomoric storytelling and writing ... what first-person character consistently refers to "my emerald eyes?" (Is such a description even a good idea in the third person?)

Stock characters yanked straight off the Lifetime Movie lot, and hard-to-ignore plot silliness such as starvation on an island supposedly bleeding an unending supply of "lazy fish" and edible fruits, not to mention a handy supply of fresh water, and let's not forget cameos by giant tuna that would only be found in the open ocean, yet they show up in the shallows for the convenience of our "survivors."

If you don't mind wildly unrealistic plot contrivance, silly characters and overly unoriginal borrowing from "The Blue Lagoon," by all means! But when so many worthy writers are out there who will never get published, it really makes you wonder how the deuce a dodo like this gets so far.

Wreckage edition by Emily Bleeker Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I really wanted to love this book and for the most part, I enjoyed it, but I can only give it 3 stars. I am not going to rehash the storyline and give anything away but the gist of the book is a plane crash over the ocean, a few survivors, a deserted island, a rescue and the coverup story behind the crash about what transpired on the island prior to their rescue. The way the story unfolded was enjoyable. The survivors are interviewed in the present and the story flashes back and forth from their memories of events on the island and the answers they give during their interviews. I agree with another reviewer that the cover up wasn't necessary, given what took place. Anyone would have understood the actions of the survivors and not asked a lot of questions. The very end of the book was silly and contrived. I can't say it was a waste of time to read the book, because as I have stated, it was an enjoyable read for the most part, but the end needed a lot of work. It had the ending one would expect from a Lifetime Movie of the Week. All wrapped up with a bow on top.
Lillian and her mother-in-law, Margaret, are on a promotional trip in the Fiji islands that Margaret won. When on a small private plane with three other people (the pilot, flight attendant, and the P.R. guy, Dave), the plane crashes in the ocean. Those that survive end up on a deserted island.

It's over two years before Lillian and Dave, are rescued. They return home to their spouses and families, but they aren't telling the true story of what happened while on the island. What was the real fate of the others that were on the plane? Will the nosey reporter sniff out the truth? And can Lillian and Dave be happy in their marriages after what they experienced together on the island?

The story had some flaws. At least some of the lies seemed totally unnecessary. <spoiler> Killing in self-defense is not a punishable crime. Also, two people alone on a desert island for months and months? What would you expect would happen? </spoiler>. In spite of that, is was an easy read and kept my interest. Four stars.
Like many others here, I got "Wreckage" as a " First" book, so I didn't pay anything for it, which was good, because it was one of the dumbest books I've ever read. It's about two survivors (a man and a woman) of a plane crash who, after almost two years stranded on an island, are rescued and brought back to civilization. But apparently, they have some big secret about something terrible that happened on the island and the secret is so horrific that they have to go to great lengths and concoct and elaborate web of lies to keep whatever it is from ever coming to light. Sounds intriguing, right? That's what I thought...

...except I figured out the Big, Dark, Terrible Secret almost immediately. And it really wasn't that Big and Dark and Terrible. In fact, it was really not Big and Dark and Terrible at all, and it certainly did not necessitate all the guilt and lies and deception these people went through. That's actually why I kept reading- I just couldn't believe that *that* was what all the fuss was about. Surely, the Big Reveal couldn't possibly be so predictable and underwhelming, right? There *must* be something else coming, something bigger and darker and genuinely shocking that would justify all the lies and deceit. But there wasn't. Just this completely foreseeable and boring "twist," that did not justify all the effort the characters went to in order to conceal it. Seriously, there was NO REASON- none whatsoever- to freak out and create a ridiculous cover story and make a pact to Never Speak of It Again. And the ending- oh my word, do not get me started on the ending. It was one of the stupidest endings I have ever read- completely unbelievable and so artificially sweet I'm pretty sure it could cause cancer in lab animals. Combine that with lackluster writing and insipid dialogue and the whole thing read like a bad Lifetime movie that I'm still mad at myself for wasting my time on.
In my opinion, it's more important THAT someone reads, rather than focusing on WHAT someone reads, but with that being said, I can't recommend this particular "what."
