Just Deserts

I picked this up because I ve been a long time fan of Eric Walters books And I quite enjoyed this one.This book is about extremes going the extra mile when you ve literally walked thousands of steps the guide who has climbed the world s tallest summits, and the father who dropped his son off in the middle of a desert to try to save his son Then it s also about moderation to take each day at a time but to still find your extremes aka your passions.There was a plethora of bumper sticker and philos [...]

So this was the first YA novel that my teen girl book club read together We picked it purely because there are always multiple copies of Eric Walters books on the shelves He seems a staple for teachers and parents trying to keep young readers in the game, particularly guys The books tend to centre around male protagonists at some point of personal calamity and are high on adventure, low on challenging vocabulary.This book was pretty predictable Young privileged student has a drinking problem He [...]

Just Deserts has the potential to be a great adventure book but really ends up being quite average It starts with a bang when Ethan is expelled from his elite private school after a drunken impersonation of the Headmaster which is uploaded to YouTube Ethan s ultra wealthy widowed father takes the tough love approach to parenting and has Ethan dropped into the Sahara where he can claim a large amount of money if he completes a 200 km trek to Tunis with the help of a guide and in the company of th [...]

WOW What an incredible story Eric Walters sure did not disappoint

Just Deserts was a pleasant book I wouldn t say it was great, but it wasn t bad either The plot was very predictable, having a stuck up, self obsorbed and unliked main character plopped in the middle of the desert by his rich daddy to try and change him for the better Does he change into a good little boy instead of a drunk and rowdy teen Hmmmm I don t know Yes, I did know Right from page one Walters shot for a good topic and even though it wasn t very original, he could have made it good There [...]

I liked this book a lot than I expected to when I first started My initial reaction was what parent would drop their child off in the desert all alone, this is so unrealistic , but as soon as he came across Larson and the rest of his teammates, I started to become and intrigued by Ethan s journey I even teared up in the last chapter, not that it takes much to make me cry, but I did find that the further I dove into the book, the emotionally invested I became I, too, was proud of Ethan If you [...]

If you wish to go quickly, go alone If you wish to go far, go together One of my favorite quotes from the fictional novel Just Deserts written by Eric Walters This author has completed the same walk as the main character in the novel, and had most of the experiences which he wrote in this book This author does a lot of things right with this novel First of all the word choice By going through the desert he is very specific with the details in the story that you feel like a 6th member of the grou [...]

I had read this book with my class as a read aloud and when our teacher ended each day we wanted I do recommend this book to any age group as it is intriguing and you feel as if you are there with them SPOILERSEthan had some major character development as he grew to love the other characters like family even though he never had a proper family of his own his dad is a businessman who has no time for Ethen, mother is dead but the ending is dull and boring with no climax he just sees s his dad we [...]

I really liked this novel.Alot The main character was very likible though he seemed like a jerk in the begining It was very interesting seeing how he developed and changed as a person throughout his journey My favourite character would be Ethan because of his manipulative personality and his crazy pal L Orange However i also loved Larson cause he had so many amazing deep things to say All in all it was an excellent read.Thank you Eric Walters for another amazing book.

Just Deserts by Eric Walters is easily the best book I ve read so far this year Inspirational, moving, humorous This book was amazing This is definitely my new favourite Eric Walters book I d recommend this book to everyone and anyone.

Not the most exciting book I ve read, but it was alright I was looking for a survival story when I read it, and this isn t really survival, but the story of a journey, both physical and personal Still, I found it very readable.

I personally really like Eric Walters and love all of his books but I think this one was the best because he walked across the desert himself and it felt like I was in the desert with him was so descriptive and so good

This was yet again another book I had to read for matrix This one too I wasn t expecting to enjoy, but I really did I loved the whole plot and that in the end the trip really did change the main character.

Following a typical Eric Walters pattern young boy needs help to get out of a bad situation he has created for himself Similar to STARS by Eric Walters I throughly enjoyed this book Although the entire story is the group walking through a desert it flows nicely.

Good book slow at times but it was still a really great book

it was great but very predictable

I have fond memories of some of Walters early books, but this one just seemed formulaic.

This was a good quick easy read with no surprises and a basic plot Outcome was predictable.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this the second time around Walters has some good characters in this book and the setting can t be beat.

This book is awesome We are reading it in school and my classmates love it

I rated this book, 5 stars because I thought that the character could actually achieve his goal on walking across the desert The story is clear and is vivid Based on a true story.

great book
