However... I just don't think this was my kind of book. I've seen a lot of people recommend this book to those who loved Endurance, as I did, but The Wager is significantly more grim in a way that didn't make me want to read more.

On a side note; I recommend looking up Wager Island on Maps after reading for a bit of a laugh.
