A booktuber recommended this as one of her 5-star reads in a yearly wrap-up and I thought, "eh, what the hell, let's see what it's like." And...whoa boy.
An incredible account of a moment in history that defied all of the odds.
The way this was retold, the pacing and staging for the events that happened, were done with such care to tell the story right that quite often I forgot that this wasn't a work of fiction.
Because how could these men have survived what they did? And yet.
I described to a friend that reading this book felt, at times, like I was watching a movie. I was so emotionally invested at times and so deep in following the visual descriptions of what was happening that I often lost hours to this book.
Cannot recommend this book enough, and I'm so glad I gave it a shot.

Do you think those men explored each other's bodies while stranded?
