I went to Seattle to attend my cousin’s wedding and he asked my dad if he had read your book, Alive. My dad had already read this book and both of them recommended it to me. They both enjoyed reading it and I am going to have to say that I too enjoyed reading it. I am not a real fan of reading but every once in a while I will have to read in order to get a good grade in a certain class. In this case that is probably the only reason I read this book. But I won’t complain because I enjoyed reading it.
One reason I enjoyed this book is because it was a true story and the people in it actually had to endure these hardships that they were faced with. I can personally say that I would not have been able to live through such trials. They had to eat human flesh to stay alive and to me that is horrific. I could not have been able to have knowingly eaten human flesh, especially someone who I had grown to care for and love. These men in this book had to eat their friends’ bodies in order to stay alive.
I think of this book as sort of comical and yet gruesome at the same time. Just imagining a person whose calf was completely ripped off, or a person with a pipe sticking out of his stomach can make me laugh. Yet, at the same time it makes my stomach turn and I can imagine what it would have been like to see this. You might think I am sick and demented for finding these sorts of things funny, but that is just the sort of person I am. I enjoyed the extensive detail that was used in describing these horrible incidents. You explained them in such great detail that I could picture in my head exactly what it was you were portraying.
The Review on Wide Read Reading Book Skills
WIDE READING PROGRAM Real Boys Read Books is simply about reading. Reading for pleasure, reading regularly, reading different authors, styles, genres, reading bigger and better books. Real Boys Read Books is basically a motivational campaign requiring enthusiasm from teachers, students and parents, and incentives to read more and more. The main aim of the wide reading programme is to enhance and ...
Because of this book I can almost say that I have an empathetic feeling towards the people who experienced this tragedy. You’re extensive detail left me with a feeling of exactly what it was they went through. I can picture myself in the shoes of Canessa trying to find help trekking throughout the ice filled mountains. I also think that if it came down to it I could eat a human body in order to stay alive. This book has opened my eyes and I will forever have a feeling of sorrow for those who lost their lives and those who survived this terrifying adventure.
Sincerely,
Zach Robinson
