One man’s viewpoint
It’s brilliant to get to experience the actual thoughts of someone who was on the plane, but this was very skewed to having him be the most important person who made survival for all the others possible.
Was a very nice touch to hear some of the audio in the actual voice of the survivor but I feel that the interview section was pointless as all the questions had already been addressed in the book.

It's all about love, how amazing!
So wonderful to hear what happened to everyone. Lots of children born & happy lives continued. Such a relief after the suffering on the mountain. Loved hearing Nando speak.

Best book I have read from audible.
A personal account of how a young man escaped from almost certain death, after a plane crash in the Andes and what he gained from the ordeal. Beatifully written and inspiring.

Just an amazing story. Gives you a different outlook on life.
I had been interested in the crash on the Andes for quite some time but reading this book has given me a deeper understanding of the events. Absolutely amazing story.

Truly a surreal tale of survival and the will to survive
Truly a harrowing disturbing tale of survival and the will to continue.
Unless you were faced with a similar situation you cannot even begin to understand the mental will power to resort to the most primal of human instincts to survive to carry on when most would have given up early on. The sure will of these people is absolutely unbelievable but shows when faced with the poorest odds people can overcome anything if their determination is strong enough

One of the most uplifting stories I've ever heard
I had already read the physical copy a few years ago, and after watching the amazing "Society of the Snow," I wanted to revisit Nando Parrado's account of the months spent on the Andes after the tragic crash. Beautifully told, tense and full of genuine emotion, while harrowing and difficult to even imagine, the story of the survivors of the 1972 Fairchild crash is one of pure love and devotion. Nando says in the epilogue how everyone has their own personal Andes: mine is OCD. I'm currently in early days of treatment after 20 years of suffering. It's relationship based, and now I look forward to marrying my partner without my brain dictating the rules. Like Nando, I choose to struggle a little longer so I can love even harder. Thank you, Nando, for choosing to retell your story. You and your friends are an inspiration to us all.
For all those still buried in the mountain.
(One star taken off of performance because I was a bit sad Nando didn't narrate the whole thing, but the narration was still good).

Incredible, moving, humbling
I can't express how moved and awestruck I felt listening to this. I saw Alive at the pictures with my parents when I was 13 and it was so harrowing the story stuck with me and I immediately read the book by Piers Paul Read. Recently I watched a documentary about the survivors, with some of their family members giving their accounts which was so incredibly moving and made you realise that this actually happened to good people, forced into an impossible situation. And they overcome it at all odds and have not only survived, they have gone on to live their lifes full of love. I subsequently watched Society of the Snow and then sought out this book which has been I think the most humbling account of all. Hearing the real Nando, the warmth in his voice even when he recounts unfathomable heartbreak, has really touched me. The bond between all of these brave survivors has really been expressed and it is so good to hear that they have gone on to live such meaningful lives in a cruel world. A wonderful message to us all. Life is precious and love is all that matters. An outstanding book.
