Title: A dissapointment
Product review: This book was higly recommended in various publications, so I was looking forward to reading it. I generally like books that are "different" (Gabriel Garcia Marquez etc.) but this book left me cold. I think it might be that I had recently read "In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex", which is a better (and true!) account of being lost at sea. Except for the fantasy element of the Tiger, this is basically the same story. I have to agree with another reviewer that the whole segment on the island was awkwardly out of place. The book simply did not live up to the hype.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
