The Indifferent Stars Above: The Harrowing Saga of the Donner Party
by Daniel James Brown

fast-paced
Definitely a harrowing read (even if you know the story, it’s still rough to read). But it was a fast and exciting read! I don’t know that “enjoy” is the right word for a story like this one, but it was certainly a fascinating and highly engaging read. The book was also a lot more emotional than I expected. Probably won’t ever read this one again due to the subject matter, but I don’t regret reading it.
