    Not going to find this in other “survival” books
    I picked this up in a bookstore for entertainment on a long flight home. It wasn’t what I expected; it was more.
    This book reads like a fiction novel at times.

    Deep Survival is a must read
    Deep Survival provides a fascinating look into the human mind and how it responds to outside stimuli; in particular to extreme life and death situations.

    Good stories but terribly sexist
    He tends to overwrite a lot, overwrought metaphors and such, but there are some great stories here. However, women are hardly to be found.
