Endurance

I just finished reading an absolutely fantastic book! A story of survival that was miraculous, where the polar expedition of Earnest Shackleton and crew were ice bound in the Antarctic and fought to beat all odds and survive. This book ranks at the top of my list and I highly recommend this book if you love adventure survival stories. Amazon.com - Read eBooks using the FREE Kindle Reading App on Most Devices

If you like true adventure stories, this one is pretty good, but some of the feats he performed and actions taken, in my mind, are questionable, so I will give it a 7 out of 10 because it held my interest.  It's worth the read. ...
