Title: Fascinating reading for a lover of the sea.
Review: I first became interested in the book by just the front cover, knowing it would be riveting. At first I found it slow and a little difficult to keep my attention. About midway through I found myself in a state of illusion were I felt the cold grip of the ocean water on my skin and the terror of being trapped and drowning. Jungers portrayal of the ocean in the state of rage and his narrative of what it is to drown made my own heart pound in my chest as if I were gasping for air. I admit that I did put it down for a while because I became bored of to much meterological information. I felt it got away from the story and left me forgetting what had previously taken place. All in all an excellent book by the rookie author.
