Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors by Piers Paul Read

challenging dark emotional informative sad slow-paced

4.5

Yes I got sucked into reading this after binging Yellowjackets. How’d you guess?

This is by far one of the most grueling, disgusting, nightmare scenarios I’ve ever read about and there’s some details here. It does a very good job at really setting the scene for the absolute horror of the situation and explaining how the thought process of everyone involved. I think I’ve had more nightmares about human meat in the past few nights than I ever have in my entire life.
