Live and kicking Ned: a continuation of the tale of dead Ned Book

Well, I wanted to love this. Adventure story to find these forgotten and hidden islands sounded great. It initially felt like Lost but I felt the momentum leave quickly. The book follows Hippolyte to his islands, but little time is spent there. He returns home,attempts to publish a book of his findings, only to butt heads with the book publisher over the validity of his findings. I wanted more of the island and less of arguing over no photo evidence and the publisher not liking his writing style. This one fell flat for me.
