This book begins with a death and there are several scary near-death experiences throughout. It is a book about survival: individual, physical and emotional. I really liked it because it was exciting and realistic. It moves along quickly and you can imagine yourself in the situation of being on-board a small boat fighting against ridiculous odds for the lives of those you love. The ending worked because it wasn't an easy one.Who would enjoy this? If you like survival stories then this is very worthwhile reading. I highly recommend it.

Everyday life with its predictable routines and reliable diet suddenly seems not so bad once you've read this book. Just as well they were in the Caribbean and not in New Zealand waters. If I was going to be shipwrecked I would want to end up on the same island as these guys!
