This book was about a man and his crew that went through extraordinary tough gashes in life. It is like they are supers! When they went through all of this, they had to adapt to changes. It is when their ship sank that the book really got through to me. But how they dealt with it- and their snow dogs- and the penguins- and the whales- and the pulling- it was just all so very moving to know that there are people that care about things in this world and set goals. once those people's goals are set- up, up, and away! They fly to the sky searching for whatever they want to accomplish. Thank you so much- you should really read this book- it is totally AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i read it for school and though it seems boring and like it`s dragging on forever, there are SOME exciting parts. I mean, try being out there freezing for months with a thin sweater (thats what they were wearing in the pictures). One part is pretty disguisting, this guy gets his toes sawed off with something like a butter knife due to being ..... well read the book. Overall, it is an amazing true story about courage, friendship, and believing in yourself. Shackleton and his crew deserve a big thumbs up for surviving ( I can`t believe they actually did) their unbelievable adventure and great teamwork.
