The title is fitting. It truly is an extraordinary story. I’ve always been intrigued by humans survive against all odds. The ocean is something that terrifies me. I can’t fathom being stranded one day let alone being stranded for over a year. The thought alone is enough to keep me up at night. Jośe Salvador Alvarenga’s story is something I can’t wrap my head around, but it deserves to be told.

I love a survival story and this one is the most survival-y. He was an amazing survivor - so smart and inventive. I just can’t imagine it - the boat, the cooler, the birds, the sharks and all of it!

The first thing that is noted is that he tells tall tales. I think the idea was to make him heroic and wonderful but they tried too hard before he had even done anything. Instead of seeing him as a hero, I thought of Gaston from beauty and the beast.
