The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann
adventurous
dark
informative
tense
medium-paced
3.0
This book was clearly meticulously researched and features many quotes from firsthand accounts. The events are delivered in a clear and unbiased manner.
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.
