Shipwreck Suspense!,
By LoriLynn Barth (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Survivors of the Chancellor (Kindle Edition)
the most surprising page-turner you'll ever read!From an unassuming ship on an seemingly mundane voyage comes more drama, suspense, and excitement than you'd ever think to find in a 19th century book. Although known for only a few of his works, Jules Verne has authored quite a few novels. This one should be in his top 10. Written in journal style first person as one of the ship's passengers, this story begins in an every-day fashion but don't be fooled! As in real life, circumstances paint a very different picture than expectations. Before you know it, you're up to your knees in suspense! What does it take to make normal people become mad? What are real hunger and real thirst? How far will a person go to ensure his own survival - or that of another? These are only a few of the questions answered so vividly that it is little less than cinematic. No one who gets through the first couple of chapters will be bored with this one! Be warned! This book is not for the squeamish or timid. But if you are a real shipwreck-survivor story fanatic, this one is for you! |
