A wonderful reading of an incredible story. What those men overcame is truly hard to believe. I almost felt I was there…in the comfort of my own house.

An unbelievable story!
I absolutely loved this book! The narrator does a great job pulling experiences and various accounts to develop a cohesive story of this party's journey. I was blown away! The whole journey is a constant account of near death experiences, most of which are so hard to imagine, yet unbelievably real for Shackleton and his men. This is honestly such an incredible story of human survival and determination. I am left in awe.

Engrossing Narrative
This relation of a near-disaster during an expedition to Antarctica is absolutely captivating. Alfred Lansing draws from planning/execution documents, ship manifests, memoirs, and actual interviews to construct a startlingly relatable tale about courage & force-of-will leadership (I can't help but contrast Ernest Shackleton's actions with those of Sir John Franklin 70 years earlier). The book is well-written, richly descriptive, and constructed nicely (yes, chronological - but with judicious cutaways & exceedingly human vignettes among the survivors - made up songs & poems, betting games, etc).
Reader Tim Pigot-Smith does the book justice with an outstanding narration, too. Mr. Pigot-Smith exhibits commendable diction, timbre, and cadence - but also a remarkably interested tone and well-thought-out voice-acting (avoiding accents when reading quotes, for example). Blackstone Audio Inc. pulled off a coup when they cast this project.
Altogether, 'Endurance' rates 9 stars out of 10. As an included selection with my Audible subscription, I feel incredibly fortunate to have stumbled on it.. because it would merit a Credit if they asked for one.
