This was a pretty harrowing and exciting book and I was pretty emotionally involved with the characters all the way... up... to... the... (wait for it)... Bigfoot sighting. The book really took a downward turn at that point.

Rawicz's ability to objectively tell this harrowing story makes it all the more compelling. I seriously cannot believe this happened. Remarkable.

More like a 3.5. The writing was fine, the story incredible. But then I read that the story may not be true and I was saddened.

What an amazing story about the strength of the human spirit and the will to survive. Slavomir Rawicz was sent to a Russian work camp in Siberia in 1939 with a sentence of 25 years. He felt that he couldn't survive 25 years there and vowed to escape. He found other prisoners who wanted to make the escape with him and together they walked over 4ooo miles and 9 months from Siberia to India.
