Discussion: Caitlin- Really enjoyed this book. Didn’t like the interview perspective. Would have liked it told through his own perspective. WR/WNRA. 4/5 Ali- Didn’t love the book completely. Lots of repeating and stretched out. Could have been shorter. WRC/WNRA. 2.5/5 Jocelyn- This tale of survival is insane. The writing style I did not love. So much repeating, could have been 100 pages shorter. Did make for great conversation with others. WRC/MRA. 3/5 Julie- First thoughts- intrigued. The story seemed unreal. Glad he never gave up and adapted to life at sea. Really enjoyed this read.
