The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition by Caroline Alexander
3.0
I don’t even know why I continued reading this book after about the 3rd page when the author states “it was an unsuccessful expedition” they didn’t accomplish what they set out to do.
Well, thanks for ruining the suspense and hope.
It mostly read like fact spewing. Just a recount of the crew member journals. It was very dry.
Then later the author reveals that the crew members were alive and rescued before we even start a rescue journey.
What’s the point of reading the book when you already tell me the outcome.
And then we get to survival of the crew members only to find out, it was cold and they didn’t have anything to eat.
Idk it wasn’t written very well IMO.
I would have liked more suspense- are they or aren’t they going to survive?
It was a very interesting story especially bc of their perseverance. I can’t imagine surviving all that they endured.
