This is a riveting story told very well

What made the experience of listening to Farallon the most enjoyable?

This book breaks into many parallel stories, each serious and engaging, each well done. The hardships these folks endured were understated but easy to feel, not just words but stepping into their dire situations at a personal level. This book has some of the feel of the great Jack London stories of the Yukon, and it carried me along.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Seaman Swenson was the most interesting character, with his courage and quiet leadership. In the hearing, when he could have taken a negative position, he stayed strong and supported his captain and crew.

What does Frank Wright bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narration by Frank Wright made this a great experience. Although the story is compelling, there in an unusual amount of detail which can sometimes bog things down, but the narration carried the story, and I listened to the whole book in less than one day. This is the best audio book narration I have heard, and I listen to a LOT of audio books. I plan to look for more books narrated by Frank Wright.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When the story seemed to be wrapping up, a character I thought had safely left the story came back into focus, and he suffered more than nearly anyone. His experience with the shotgun, seemingly a life saver, then turned tragic, took me right back into the plot.

Any additional comments?

This is not the kind of book I often read, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. It really did remind me of some of the great survival books, like London, Nordhoff & Hall, and Gann.
