Recommended By: My son, N; It is worth noting that several people (Brian D'Amato, Ann, and Jan) recommended that I read South which is Shakelton's own recounting, but I have removed that book from the list (and donated my copy to a local book sale) given this one.

Review:
Most of these shipwreck style tales are horrifying. Well, this one is also. On the bright side nobody dies (it is history, unlikely to ruin someone's day with that). I think that this is likely to be my last shipwreck story. I started around 12 reading the original Robinson Caruso (not the kid versions I'd been reading up until then) and though that was a novel, it was one in a series of shipwreck stories that hopefully culminates with this one. Ending on an "up" note.
