Rating: 3
Summary: No Classic
Comment: Having just read "Into Thin Air" I was looking for another gripping true story. This book seemed to promise that, but sadly, it didn't deliver. While what the Baileys did was enormous and awe-inspiring, the story is really quite tepid. LOTS of pictures and drawings to flesh out the skimpy 192 pages. Redundant - day after day the same thing, sometimes told once by Maurice and a second time by Maralyn. I know it was a harrowing experience, I just wish I could have FELT it more
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Story - A must for anyone thinking of cursing
Comment: I've read this book a couple of times. An amazing tale of not only how they servived physically but mentally.
Rating: 5
Summary: An Exciting Read!
Comment: I read this book in one sitting; it's quite a gripping experience to re-live the experience as the Bailey's hold out for an unparalleled 118 days in a rubber dinghy and raft in the middle of the Pacific. Will few supplies and slowly failing equipment, they keep improvising and somehow mentally hold it together long enough for the 8th (!) passing ship to finally spot them after almost 4 months adrift.
The only criticisms I have of this book are that they leave a few questions unanswered. Such as, did they not have a radio?! (Perhaps not standard in 1973?)
