  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

I love a disaster at sea, whether it's fiction or non-fiction, there's something about it being the ultimate survival story. This is not so different to many I've read, and while I enjoyed the dynamics between the two storm-surviving South American fishermen as things gradually get worse, at times towards the end there was just a little too much 'am I going mad, am I seeing things' sections.
