(I gotta admit, I thought there would be more cannibalism)
Read this for:
β΅οΈ the true tale of how two concurrent shipwrecked crews marooned on the opposite sides of the same desolate, hostile, subantarctic island have wildly different experiences
π§Ό an incredibly well researched account of remarkable ingenuity in the face of extreme crisis and vastly contrasting leadership/collaboration styles (and the consequences of each)
π¦ soooo much seal & sea lion killing
If you like survival accounts, maritime tales, and stories about the power of the human spirit, resilience, and strength of working together, even in the face of unimaginable horrors⦠this one will *float your boat*

I enjoyed this book and found it a quick enough read that I read most of it on one train ride. The story is divide between telling the tale of two shipwrecks, one where rhe group plays at The Boxcar children and succeeds and the other plays more into Lord of the Flies. My only real qualm with this book is a lack of foot noting or listing sources outside of an authors note at the end.
