The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst by Ron Hall, Nicholas Tomalin, Jonathan Raban
5.0
I loved this book! I worked on a one-man opera years ago based on this story--the opera was awesome, BTW. But I've never read this book. I was reminded of it after reading _The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim_, which was a book I also enjoyed. What a feat of investigation the authors undertook, and they really hit it out of the park with the writing. Page-turner.
I was really struck by their compassion for Crowhurst. They say it themselves, but it's true--this stoery could very easily been "Man overcomes all odd" if Crowhurst had succeeded. I highly recommend this book.
I'm going to watch _Deep Water_ tomorrow.
