I could never do what these people intended to do post-shipwreck. I would've been a one and done but reading about their efforts and what they went through and continue to face is truly inspiring.

The way I said, WHAT!? out loud reading this book is everything I need to tell you about this story. How is this real? The same question I kept asking myself reading Killer of the Flower Moon. Thank you, David Grann.

Typhus sounds like it sucks. The Drake Passage sounds like it sucks. This can’t end up well.

Oh, it definitely gets better but I would agree that Part One of this book was slow. It was worth the set up based on where the story goes.
