438 Days: An Extraordinary True Story of Survival at Sea
by Jonathan Franklin
This is a very interesting story of a fisherman who survived being adrift at sea for over a year (2012-2014). If that sounds good to you, you will probably enjoy this book.
One thing I think Franklin did very well was pacing. With long term survival stories, there's a lot of boredom. People in those situations spend a great deal of time doing the same repetitive tasks, or even just killing time waiting to be rescued. But Franklin managed to capture everything he was doing and skip through time in a way that still flowed very naturally.
Usually my reviews are longer, but this book was very straightforward. I enjoyed it a great deal. Definitely pick this up if you're into this kind of story because this was a great one.
