A fascinating, action-packed account of long-term survival on
the open seas. Very inspiring!-- "ABC News (Best Book of
2015)"
"A spectacular triumph of grit over adversity, 438 Days
is an intense, immensely absorbing read."-- "Booklist"
"The best survival book in a decade.-- "Outside"
[A] harrowing tale.-- "New York Daily News"
Jonathan Franklin is an American journalist, but it is with a
novelist's eye for detail, rather than a reporter's
matter-of-factness, that he gives this gripping saga the chronicle
it deserves...it unfolds like a rollicking adventure
story...remarkable...reminded me of both Yann Martel's Life Of
Pi and William Golding's Pincher Martin, yet tells a
tale that is nothing if not astoundingly, engrossingly
singular.-- "Daily Mail (UK)"
