Interesting but repetitive
User Review - steve53443 - Overstock.comThe book is interesting and informative but each chapter seems to repeat itself on the lessons learned. Im about 13 of the way through the book and Ive put it down to finish reading other books. Ill get back to it eventually but Im in no hurry. Read full review
This book absolutely stinks. I got through 100 pages and wanted to blow my brains out. This Laurence Gonzales guy keeps pretty much repeating his points of survival. People told me that a girl gets in a plane crash and I did not read anything about that in what I read. I do not recommend this book. I highly recommend something such as Number The Stars or Anne Frank, but Deep Survival is complete bogus.
