Query: A Cold Reality

I read this book last summer but still find myself recalling it in conversations. There is an extraordinary amount of curiosity created by the fact that this is based on real life events. For the same reason I felt happy and sad. Try putting yourself in their shoes. Invariably that is what wil happen--guaranteed. The author isn't the most elegant writer in the world, but he conveys a powerful message through his methodical reprise of the tragedy and triumph of that fateful journey. In short, this is worth a read.
