This book is just a collection of articles that Chuck Klosterman has written in the ten years before this book and then he adds comments, follow ups and footnotes to his articles. If you like Chuck's writing, this is a great book. I skipped a few articles that didn't interest me, but overall a pretty good book.

I really enjoyed this book and was very surprised. The book starts out on one path and ends up somewhere different and being much more fulfilling than I thought the author was going to do.

This is one of the most amazing survival stories in human history, and Alfred Lansing does an incredible job of putting you into the minds of these men as they survive the impossible. I never read books more than once, but I make an exception for this book. I have read it several times and it never ceases to amaze.
I cannot recommend this highly enough. A must read for any fan of literature about adventure or sailing. Also a great read for anyone that just likes a great story. It's a bonus that is actually true!

Probably my favorite of this wonderful series by Lehane (Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro). Please do not be turned off of these books by the movie that was made. The movie was a decent representation of the events in this book, but didn't even touch on character development and all of the personality behind the two main characters, and that is what makes these books great.

I loved this book, but I will say that it is not for the faint of heart. If you have ever heard Adam and his random rants, you will know exactly what this book is. I have never laughed out loud as much while reading any other book before.
There are many ideas that he has, that could offend some people, but you just have to know that going in, and know how Adam acts. I definitely did not agree with him on every aspect, but he at least brings up some good points on a lot of things that he complains about.

A great book about the story that inspired the book Moby Dick. The author definitely did his research on this subject and it shows, but he doesn't just present the information. He puts you in the story and does a great job of building tension and conveying the conflict involved in this story.
If you like this book, I strongly recommend 'Endurance' by Alfred Lansing. It is an even more amazing survival story and very well written like this book.

This book was right up my alley as tech junkie that still prefers my books to be in paper form. This book is like a Davinci Code for books and using technology. A very quick and well written read.

This is a well written book about an incredible journey of a life and death climbing accident. While I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I think it is fair to warn other readers that it certainly does contain a lot of terms and vocabulary that might only be familiar to someone who knows climbing. This did have a glossary in the back that helps, but it can still be a bit of a challenge if you do not know the vernacular, but still worth a read!
