It is a fascinating story but I gotta say though as I read it I kept thinking "What an idiot."

The magazine story evolved into the book. Yeah, it was a decent book, but I had the same thoughts throughout. I tried to read it again recently and put it down halfway through.
I'll probably check out the movie, though. I really like those survival stories. I wish they'd make a decent Shackleton flick.
