Quite a journey. The writing was easy to read and captivating. The story, the events and the characters were amazing and had sufficient depth. Somehow, though, towards the end the difficulties following each other ended up just very slightly flat, while a final survival would have made it perfect. That's the problem with true stories, though, and you cannot make up a final battle without turning it into fiction. A very enjoyable read and I really liked the ending with what happened to the main characters as icing on the cake.
