Book Review of The Lifeboat

The Lifeboat
The Lifeboat
Author: Charlotte Rogan
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Hardcover
Helpful Score: 10


I had not read this author before and the story was well written and interesting. However, I found myself nearly loathing the main character (who is accurately described at one point in the book as "weak willed and suggestible") before it was over. I would also add selfish and manipulative, but she was young, so maybe she didn't know any better. In all fairness, few of the characters were likable, and maybe the point is we do not know what we are capable of until we experience the worst scenario. This is a story of survival at any cost.
