The best book I've read this year, and probably the best story ever. Period.

Very readable and engaging story of not just the Wager but also the conditions aboard a ship in the early 19C

One of the best nonfiction books I've ever read. At once informative, intense, accurate, gripping, and readable. Almost nothing here can be criticized.

I enjoyed this audiobook. I could not get past the fact that the narrator also does The First 48 lol.

I honestly can't believe most of this happened. Pretty wild. That said, it was really tough for me to get into this, and my attention drifted away constantly to The Pirates of the Caribbean... Overall I liked the story, but the writing didn't blow me away.
