Not a good book for someone without prior knowledge of the 72 Andes story.
The book has alternating chapters telling the story chronologically and interviews/discussions/memories from the 16 survivors, so without a prior framework, it can be difficult to follow.
I’d recommend Miracle in the Andes or Alive as good initial books.
This is an excellent addition. I especially appreciate knowing the author’s connection to the boys on the flight.
