Summary
Racked by hunger, buffeted by storms, scorched by the tropical sun, Callahan drifted for 1,800 miles, fighting off sharks with a makeshift spear and watching as nine ships passed him by. "A real human drama that delves deeply into man's survival instincts (Library Journal), Adrift is a story of anguish and horror, of undying heroism, hope, and survival, and a must-read for any adventure lover.
Critic reviews
"Fascinating...a clearly written ocean yarn in which the stakes are high and a brave man wins through." (Wall Street Journal)

A compelling read from the start
I saw a short video clip on the internet about this story and was intrigued enough to download the audio book. A fascinating story of one man’s survival against the odds. Steven’s survival was down to his adventurous nature, collecting other shipwreck survivor stories and applying what he’d learned along with his own determination to survive. He’s clearly a lot more clever than he gives himself credit for and it was a fascinating observation of one man versus the weather, the ocean and its inhabitants and the daily struggle both inwardly and outwardly when you spend 2.5 months alone at sea.

Good Listen
What made the experience of listening to Adrift the most enjoyable?
The auther described his surroundings so well you had a mental picture of it.
Who was your favorite character and why?
There was only one character which was the sailer.
What about the narrator’s performance did you like?
He read the book calmly but also expressed the excitement of catching a fish, or the overwhelming feeling of helplessness in the current surroundings.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No.

Incredible story read by the author
Really enjoyed. He addresses many aspects of the experience, not just the practicalities. Huge depth of emotion, without overwhelming.
