Summary: AN AMAZING ADVENTURE - WONDERFUL READING!
Review: An amazing and utterly fantastic book of an extraordinary adventure! The best book I have read in a long time, and the most extraordinary adventure story I've ever read. The ill-fated expedition across the antartic continent ends in probably an even more extraordinary trial of courage and strength. The survival in the frigid anatartic caught on the ice float; the trial in some of the roughest seas in the world in no more than a life boat; and the mountain expedition with little more than an axe and some rope - present three incredible adventures full of risk, daring, ingenuity, and strength. A great book for anyone who likes adventure. An even better book for anyone who desires insight into extraordinary leadership, courage, and strength of character.

Summary: An incredible tale of courage and survival.
Review: Shakelton, a British explorer in the early 20th century, faces daunting odds but amazingly (and truthfully) he fights. A wonderfully written book; it is a sure winner if you read it.

Summary: A MUST READ
Review: The foreknowledge of the happy ending cannot dim the majestic horror of this book. Shackleton's men take every imaginable punishment, and are stretched beyond all conceivable limits (a few seconds in the icy cold water of the Antarctic would be enough to finish me off!). They endured the cold and wet for two long Antarctic winters, and somehow made it out alive, aided by little more than their wits. This is a good book to rub in the noses of small children (or employers) who are fussing and whining about tiny trivialities.I don't know why, but back in the U.K., the Shackleton story is not as widely publicized as Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated voyage. Shackleton appears to have had a better understanding of Antarctic conditions, and his men were at least somewhat better nourished (blubber to keep out the cold, instead of the plum pudding which the barmy Scott fed to his men on one occasion). Buy, read, absorb, and learn! Neil L. Inglis ninglis@erols.com

Summary: A great adventure. A truly remarkable story.
Review: I can't believe this is not a movie! When you sit back and think about what they went through, the book becomes even better. Shackleton, although he failed his mission, should be considered a true hero for what he did.

Summary: Incredible reading
Review: the antarctic adventure of the endurance was so fascinating that i simply could not stop reading... this story would make a fantastic movie - it is incredible to think of what those men went through and the hardships they were able to bear one of the greatest books i've read in the past few years, paralleled maybe (in the gender) only with "the rivers ran east". not one page that you would rate as superflous. i have dreamt of a trip to the south pole everyday since i finished the book

Summary: "Incredible" is an understatement
Review: I went into this book, after reading the jacket, thinking, "Oh, this sounds interesting." By the end, the book had moved me to tears three or four times. I cannot say enough about this fascinating, unreal, unbelievable story and the powerful effect it had on me. Never before have I read of such fortitude and awe-inspiring strength than that exhibited by these brave, amazing men. It was such a terrific read, I didn't want the story to end! But thank God, for those who lived to tell it, it finally did. If you like true-life adventure, even just a little bit, then you must read this tremendous story. Remarkable and unbelievable from beginning to end.

Summary: I am so sad.....
Review: As you have read all of other the wonderful reviews, mine will be the same. I am sad because I am only 26 years old, and know there will probably never again be another real-life event (or book about that event) that can even come close to matching what Shackelton and his crew accomplished. After you read this book, don't bother trying to find a book about a "greater" feat, because there isn't.

Summary: Wonderful true tale
Review: Although it reads like a thriller, this true story keeps you at the edge of your seat. I wonder how people in our "easy" society of today would fare. Not well would be my guess.
