Audio Reviews:Recording released in January, 2000 "This
amazing true tale of survival makes for a gripping audiobook, as read with gusto
by Taylor Mali... To give listeners a sense of the crew's journal entries found
in the book, Mali intersperses his narration with various voices and accents.
These departures provide a vivid picture of the cabin fever, loneliness, fear
and suffering these men endured as well as their unquestionable courage."

"Taylor Mali's narration of the book...is
riveting, and his shifts from one accent to the next are effective. This is a
very effective presentation of not only how the disaster occurred, but of the
toll it took on the crew and how they rose to the challenge."
