Some books are great because the story is astounding and unique. This book is great for that reason. After his boat sank, this guy survived alone on a raft for two and a half months across 1,800 miles of ocean, which is miraculous. He shares the details of how he rigged the few supplies he had so he could spear fish and catch rainwater, which is fascinating. But the most powerful part of the story is when he reveals what the experience felt like, especially how he felt about the dorados--the fat, beautiful fish he had to catch, kill and eat to survive. Director Ang Lee hired Steven Callahan as a consultant during the making of Life of Pi, and you can see Callahan's influence all over the movie, especially in the fishing scenes.

Amazing. Highly recommend.
