I really enjoyed listening to this book, but I don't think I wouldve finished it if I read it in print or Kindle. It was a good story of perseverance and survival, but it was a bit clunky at times. A bit of a let down at the end.

I read this in a day and a half. Classic thriller feel to it, I did figure out the plot about halfway through, but the writing was great there were some surprises towards the end.
