Query: Whisky Galore

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel. As has been stated in the other reviews, the story is based on a true event that occured during the Second World War. I found MacKenzies development of tension leading up to the wreck to be masterful, but think that the story began to unravel once the ship found itself on the rocks, so to speak, and was being looted. Still, it is a great read, and have recommended the book to others in the past, and do so here as well.
