This is truly a 5 star book, especially the audible edition. Such a captivating story. The straight facts about the journey are engaging enough, but Alfred Lansing writes the story in such a way to amplify the events and the challenges of Shackleton's voyage to make it into something special. I felt like I experienced a real part of the stresses and a real part of the joys as this book played out. I felt cold when they felt cold, despaired when they felt despaired and relieved when they felt relieved.
