Review: A Meaningfull Read: Zia is a great book to read. I haven't read Island of the Dolphins, but Scott O' Dell made it possible to still understand the plot of the previous story. The story moved a bit fast for me though, sometimes I got lost, and I was like, "Wow. Zia's already here? What happened to...?" But overall, the story had a very interesting plot. I found it sad that Karana dies just a while after she gets saved from the island. But I realize the Karana dying is very important since it makes Zia realize that Karana died for something. For her beliefs. And this causes Zia to look for what she believes in, where she belongs, what her identity is. I think Scott O' Dell did a good job at making a unique plot with a message that gets the reader to think.
