Book Reviews of Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage
Book Review: Absolutely Amazing!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Normally, a true account of an antarctic expedition in 1915 would not be at the top of my reading list, but I was intrigued after hearing a friend discussing Ernest Shackleton one night.
I found this to be an extremely interesting and well written account of a group of British explorers lead by Shackleton. The hardships that they face and the way they keep going is unbelievable. You will keep asking yourself if this story could possibly by true! All I could think while reading this book was that I will never complain about anything again!
If you want an exciting, well written book that reads almost like a novel, and will most likely stay with you for life, then check this one out. Even if you are not a huge fan of adventure, I think you will find a lot to like about this book.

Summary: 5 Stars
Endurance by Alfred Lansing is a truly wonderful story. I am an eleven year old sixth grader who thinks every talented reader 10-81 would enjoy Endurance. The vocabulary is exquisite and the writing is advanced. The quality of the story is such that you feel like you're right there in Antarctica! You begin to form strong connections with the characters as well. One of the greatest things about it is that this is the true account of the Imperial Trans Antarctic Expedition. All the toil the crew went through really happened. If you choose to read this book, be ready for an amazing story where you'll be on the edge of your seat the whole time!Book Review: Endurance: Shackton's Incredible Voyage

This is not a book I would typically choose but a friend recommended it as "the best book I've ever read" and so trying to determine what would constitute this recommendation, I read it. It is the true tale of a group of men trying to explore the antartic in 1916. How their ship gets trapped in the ice and how they manage to survive until they are rescued or I should say, how they rescue themselves. This is really a gripping story that I would recommend as an excelent read.Book Review: Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage
