Title: the toughest choice one will ever have to make.......
Review: Amazing account of the story of the Andes survivors. It was so fascinating, I finished the book in one night. And those of you who seen the book know it is about two inch (more or less) thick.Would you rather DIE, or EAT CORPSES of bodies once belonging to your dear friends? Tough choice to make, but the Uruguaian rugby team who's plane crushed in the Andes in 1972 had to make theirs.Everyone who reads the book asks himself: what if I were in their situation? Would I have been brave enough to go on? Would I have been able to eat human flesh, even if it was the only mean of surviving?It is really pretty powerful. It actually makes you think, this book. Makes you appreciate the bravery of Fernando Parrado and his fellow passengers, be it if they made it at the end, or not.Piers Paul Read does a fabulous job of recounting it to those who haven't been there, makes it all come alive (what an ironic choice of a word) in front of our eyes.
Is the review positive or negative?
