Story
On October 12, 1972, a plane carrying a team of young rugby players crashed into the remote, snow-peaked Andes. Out of the 45 original passengers and crew, only 16 made it off the mountain alive. For 10 excruciating weeks, they suffered deprivations beyond imagining, confronting nature head-on at its most furious and inhospitable. And to survive, these men and women not only had to keep their faith; they had to make an impossible decision: Should they eat the flesh of their dead friends?

Amazing story! I was caught up the entire time!

I absolutely loved this book. The narrator was phenomenal, and the story was extremely well-written. I never got distracted and wanted to keep listening. It's wild that this is a true story, it sounds like a Hollywood blockbuster! I'm anxious to watch the film. Please read!

Dated but interesting

Great book but definitely dated with racism and misogyny all over the dang place. Love Will Patton as a narrator.

Don't waste your money
Reviewed: 12-21-20
I loved the first book and had BIG expectations for its sequel! But it's the same book, only the main character isn't someone that you root for anymore--he's just a jerk. I kept waiting for something to happen, thinking I needed to get into the groove of it. Nope. It was completely predictable! Shockingly predictable. But Cline relied even more heavily on nerdy trivia that was shoehorned into a lame plot. I can't believe I listened to it all. Please listen to something better and don't waste your time or credit like I did.
