"A fascinating, action-packed account of long-term survival on the
open seas. Very inspiring!"-- "ABC News (Best Book of 2015)"
"[A] harrowing tale."-- "New York Daily News"
"Jonathan Franklin is an American journalist, but it is with a
novelist's eye for detail, rather than a reporter's
matter-of-factness, that he gives this gripping saga the chronicle
it deserves...it unfolds like a rollicking adventure
story...remarkable...reminded me of both Yann Martel's Life Of Pi
and William Golding's Pincher Martin, yet tells a tale that is
nothing if not astoundingly, engrossingly singular."-- "Daily Mail
(UK)"
"The best survival book in a decade."-- "Outside"
"A spectacular triumph of grit over adversity, 438 Days is an
intense, immensely absorbing read."-- "Booklist"
