A review by biblioauds
The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder by David Grann

adventurous informative medium-paced

5.0

I don't usually find myself gravitating towards nonfiction works about perilous journeys with men who have too much testosterone for their own good.. but I loved it. Grann had me absolutely CAPTIVATED by this story. The way he unfolds narratives is artful, giving you just enough information to keep you hooked and not enough to spoil the story. A master at his craft, Grann conveys a story not just about a ship that wrecked and its delusional men, but a story of companionship, loyalty, and the lengths a man might go to survive. A real page turner, and a very accessible read to any who might be wary of nonfiction.
