Hey Everyone,
I am going to review the book "438 Days: An Extraordinary True Story of Survival at Sea," by Jonathan Franklin. This book was recently published on November 17, 2015 by Simon and Schuster. Jonathan Franklin is an investigative journalist and TV commentator on Latin American politics and news. He is also the author of "33 Men: Inside the Miraculous Survival and Dramatic Rescue of the Chilean Miners." This is the story of Salvadore Alvarenga who survived 438 days at sea, in which he drifted 6,000 miles over the Pacific Ocean.
Overall I rated this book four and a half stars out of five. This was a truly amazing story, it is a one of a kind story. The kind you will only hear once in your lifetime. It is one of those stories that you have trouble believing that it's true. I really liked how this book included relevant information/facts and opinions coming from specialists, in that they backed up as well as enriched Salvadore Alvarenga's remarkable survival at sea. I am in awe of Salvadore, in his humility and his optimism, in how he never gave up. Just close your eyes for a moment, and imagine that you are stranded at sea. What would you do? How would you survive? To find out how Salvadore Alvarenga survived you must read this book for yourself. For those of you who would like to purchase a copy of this book CLICK HERE.
Until the next page,
Jill
