"An Island To Oneself" is a real captivating book! Tom Neale describes his way of living - surviving - on Suwarow, a remote island in the South-Pacific. The reader really feels as if he were on the spot while reading this book! The adventures Tom Neale experiences and the way he copes with problems, the rare people he meets,how he gets used to the rythm of the isle.. i found it a superb book! One of Tom Neales friends is the writer Robert Dean Frisbie. I recommend to read the work of his daughter Johnny Frisbie (at the age of 13!), "Miss Ulysses From Puka-Puka", who lived on Suwarow with her father,two sisters and brother during several months in the forties.
