This book was enjoyable in different ways. The author was able to make me have an image in my head when they were in the hurricane. But it made me have different emotions like when the author talked about one of the sailors’ childhood, it made me feel bad for him. Then, the author compared the raft they were in to a button and the waves to the size of notebook paper in the point of view of the search plane pilots, and the image it placed in my head was astonishing (Tougias 143-144). But I got confused when they rescued a sailor that was in the sinking because they suddenly changed from that person being stuck at sea to him being inside the rescue helicopter (Tougias 188-189). I would say I would recommend this book to people who can imagine things based on what they are given, I had to take some time to read a sentence repeatedly from my lack of imagination, it takes me at least 20-40 seconds to create a picture in my head from a book. Other than that it can also be for people who like suspense. As intense as the rescue was, it reminds me of almost every action movie that includes everyone being saved on time at the last second which made the book like a cliché movie ending, but that might be the reason why I liked the book since I am used to reading books and watching movies with the same resolution. I am not trying to be or imply that I am sadistic, but I would say that the book might have been better if someone ended up dying because the fact that everyone survived is kind of overused in stories. Although it would have been sad, but it would not have made it like almost every book or movie with the same ending or conclusion. The book did not need that much characterization for the people, the book had already included pictures of them instead of a description of how they looked like, but it still describes the sailors’ enthusiasm for sailing from their experience (Tougias 1-6).
