Y bueno, cuando deciden comerse los cadáveres de sus amigos es realmente espeluznante, sobrecogedor, si bien es completamente comprensible dada la situación tan extrema en que se encontraban.He pasado frío, hambre y sed junto a los protagonistas, dolor, cansancio, esperanza y desesperación, eso sí, yo desde la comodidad de mi casa, así cualquiera 😅. I dunno; maybe I’m wrong, and maybe this book isn’t well-written, and maybe I’m just a sucker for a story so incredible it’s nigh unbelievable - but this book has always stayed with me as a helluva tale well told.

They select their fittest, most determined members and give them extra rations of meat to prepare them for the arduous journey to fetch help.It reveals that the monsters are actually rotting human beings who should've died a long time ago, and that they're on a spaceship flying away from a dying Earth toward a new planet. Cannibalism is such a taboo subject that just writing the words is difficult without feeling macabre or downright silly.

One other thing I would have liked is to some sort of follow up to tell me what the rest of their lives turned out like, especially the older man who had the 4 kids and the boy whose sister and mother died in the crash (or shortly thereafter). There was an avalanche shortly after the initial crash, there are a couple of treks to find the tail and to see who is hardy enough to attempt a walk for help.

Women are nurturing and irrational and must be humored and coddled; men are brave and active, and when they're irrational, they know better; probably it's part of this same gender definition that Read always refers to the survivors as "boys," even though the youngest of them was 19, this giving them room to be irrational and weak without compromising their manhood. His most well-known work is the non-fiction Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors (1974), an account of the aftermath of a plane crash in the Andes, later adapted as a film.Piers Paul Read detalla un montón de los lados más oscuros de esa batalla, cómo básicamente dividirse entre ellos en fuertes y débiles, constantes peleas y discusiones sobre muchos asuntos, constipación y otros desagradables asuntos de una salud declinante, y muchas otas escalofriantes cosas. I remember watching the film adaptation of this book when I was quite young, and being so impressed with the resilience of the human spirit, and the desire to live.
