Amazing true story of multiple shipwrecks and survivors.

Update: Holy cow, I can't believe it- they all liked it! The group called this riveting and fascinating and several said they read it all in one go. :o It was a really good discussion. Confirming that I never know what will 'land' and what won't. Revisiting all of my notes made me appreciate it even more- especially the scholarship that went into its writing. I'm adding a star out of respect for that alone.

I don't think that this one is going to go over well at book club, but it's good to try a long shot every now and then. I found it very interesting- I love survival stories; but I think I could have benefited from a bookmark with sailing/nautical terms on it as well as a map to easily refer to. I also think I could have used 90% less seal clubbing/descriptions of seal death. I get it, they had to survive, but... could they really not catch any fish? I'm just saying. We'll see what the group thinks.

Fascinating comparison between two shipwrecks and the different choices they made. The end felt a little rushed and there were a bit too many detailed descriptions of killing seals.
Everyone should read this book!! Two sets of circumstances with vastly different outcomes. Which party would you be with?
