Some books blur genres for me.
This book is the first in a long time that I thought was a piece of fiction, only to be slapped in the face and find out it was a true story.
Because of this, the subtitle is the most apt subtitle I have come across. This book captures adventure, survival horror, and the imagination all in one book. This is a story about traveling to the Antarctic in the last days in the age of exploration.
I don’t want to spoil too much more, I recommend going into this blind, I already feel like I have spoiled the book saying it is a true story.
Tl;dr: one of the few books to make me go “wow” and “that was real?”
