Review: courage and determination - A very interesting read. I was entertained with the story and knowledge from the first chapter. A definite must read for anyone interested in a bit of history and the story of these brave men and their survival.
Review: Incredibly Interesting - In the 1800s the sub-Antarctic islands called The Aucklands were a shipwreck story being written again and again and again. Eventually the New Zealand government would even install a provisioned castaway hut on the main island due to the number of shipwrecks occurring. Being shipwrecked on these islands was not your sandy beach, blue sky and coconuts story. This was a very inhospitable place (weather and terrain) that took extraordinary strength and will to survive. The castaway hut would come in handy, however, not for the main shipwreck stories of this book. The castaway hut would be, in part, a response to these. This is the story of near simultaneous shipwreck group 1 of the ship Grafton, and shipwreck 2 of the ship Ivercauld. These two groups of castaways would never see each other or know each other were there. History would show them to be a contrast of one group working together to stave off hunger,depression and exposure (Grafton) while the other group being largely aimless, poorly led, where some turned sub human in their actions(Ivercauld). These are their true stories to the best of first hand account, history and recollection provide. It’s amazingly fascinating. The author did great work in picking the subject and researching the topic. In that regards it is 5 stars. Unfortunately the presentation of the stories and/or the cohesiveness of the writing just didn’t fully capture me. At points it felt like I was reading a chopped and dry repost. On this front I gave it 3 stars. I’ll definitely read this author again (again I was wowed by the story itself) but I hope her writing better captures my attention.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Both educational and intertaining
*by A***R on December 29, 2023*

Well written, it kept me enthralled the entire book. The last section of the book puts to light the massive amount of research she has done in a monumental effort to produce an accurate depiction of what actually happened. It is interesting to compare the two groups of castaways and how the right leadership, and teamwork can inspire hope and the will to surmount the seemingly impossible. In contrast the opposite leads quickly to despair and death. Excellent work and a joy to read. And for those who think it talked too much about killing seals (like many of the reviews), that was the way they subsisted and occupied large portions of their time. If people don't want to hear about what really happened, they should read a fiction vs historical novel. Sugar coating the facts for the folks that like to have their animals butchered by others is just plain silly. Sea Lions are cute, but when you are starving, you need to kill to survive. This is the brutal reality of being shipwrecked.
