Query: The Great Pearl ---

"The Black Pearl," written by Scott O'Dell is somewhat of a very dull book, that is not able to catch the readers attention. Scott O' Dell has failed to create the same kind of enthusiasm as he did for "Island of the Blue Dolphins." It also borrows very obviously from Steinbdck's-"The Pearl,"--even the scene with the crooked pearl dealers is very similar. Overall its not much of a great book...
