The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder by David Grann
adventurous
challenging
dark
tense
medium-paced
5.0
This was a book I could not put down. Even knowing, essentially, how the story ends does not make it any less gripping.
The stories of all these men and the struggles they endure before, during, and after their time as castaways is remarkable. The author presents the tale well and as factually as possible. There is no right and wrong and let’s you, as the reader, decide how to interpret that gray middle ground.
