Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World by Joan Druett

5.0

---

Really interesting and well written. Pretty standard fair surviving as castaways on a island stuff but the wrinkle of two crews being shipwrecked at the same time and how different their experiences were elevated it significantly. It was also written with enough skepticism from the author of the first hand accounts and comparing multiple accounts that it shows a very complete picture of what it must have been like.
