This novel had me cheering and sobbing, it's chocked full of courage and although it is fiction, it reads like it's true. Somehow Mr Bainbridge's words got into my bones and i could not let go. Brutal as the Antarctic existence can be, one wants to live to return and tell the story, but when it is realized that that will not happen, life changes in a blink of an eye. There is nothing more serious as death watching you, knowing there is no where to run. This is deep, so deep it crawls inside of your mind and you will carry it for sometime. This is what i personally look for in a perfect read.
