Critics Review
“A fascinating, action-packed account of long-term survival on the open seas. Very inspiring!”– “ABC News (Best Book of 2015)”
”[A] harrowing tale.”– “New York Daily News”
“A spectacular triumph of grit over adversity, 438 Days is an intense, immensely absorbing read.”– “Booklist”
“Jonathan Franklin is an American journalist, but it is with a novelist’s eye for detail, rather than a reporter’s matter-of-factness, that he gives this gripping saga the chronicle it deserves…it unfolds like a rollicking adventure story…remarkable…reminded me of both Yann Martel’s Life Of Pi and William Golding’s Pincher Martin, yet tells a tale that is nothing if not astoundingly, engrossingly singular.”– “Daily Mail (UK)”
“The best survival book in a decade.”– “Outside”
