Book Reviews of Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors (Avon Nonfiction)

Book Review: Inspirational very readable keeps you hooked
Summary: 4 Stars

Inspirational is the only way to describe the true life story of this rugby team who in the seventies crashed into the Andes and used the only food available, their companions. You feel the grief with the familes as they one by one give up hope after two months and wonder at the power of conviction of these men as it gives you a new outlook on life.
