Summary: Excellent Book
Review: Alive is an excellent book worth reading for anyone. It starts off introducing the Uruguay culture which goes on for about 2 chapters and that is about the only boring part. The rest of the story tells you about the adventure of a Rugby team trying to survive from their crash in the Andes Mountains. Canabalism is a main factor in the book and the author really likes to go into detail. So for those of you that get upset easily you might want to think twice before picking it up.

Summary: An awsome book!
Review: Alive starts out slow for the first two chapters. It then speeds up to be an excellent story of survival. This book is a great story of suspense, and the human will to live. It shows how much we take for granted. WARNING: this book is definetly not for people with weak stomachs.

Review: Great book, the author does a wonderful job. This book moves along and is never dull. Many times with type of book the big event that start out the book is about the best part of it and the rest of the book kinda dies after it, but not this one. The story keep going and you want to keep reading. I would put this up there with Into Thin Air and above The Perfect Storm. It is much better then the movie.

Summary: Alive
Review: I absoultly loved this book I would recomend it to all of my friends. I liked it because I am the type of person who enjoys a little exitement and action in their books, and thats what this is all about. I really think that you should give this one a try.
I believe that the best part of the book is when the plain was going down, (crashing) and how much detail they explained it in. The worst part for me was when they did the canibleism because I for one have a weak stomach and don't take things like that very well.
The best two story elements I thought were, number one the climax like i said before when the plane was going down it was just explained so well I could see it right before my eyes. Number two would have to be the setting, it was in so much detail it was like I was right there witht them expierencing what they were, seeing what they saw. Thats why I liked this book I really recomend it for you.
