The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder

Riveting. David Grann is one of the very best historians and storytellers around, and this tale of an eighteenth-century cataclysm at sea (and on land) is alive with heroes and villains, unbelievable competence and spectacular stupidity. Every time the world intervened and I had to put the book aside, it would be in my mind as I tried to imagine how the sailors and castaways were going to make it through yet one more day. I just loved it. You will, too.

Chris, I like your style review!I generally do not need a retelling of the story but I am looking for a firm reason to look into a book…you just put it out there!! If the world and life around us is distracting us from a great story that makes it a book I want to test drive. Thank you!!
