"A wonderfully written tale of a historical event. Oh, not into history? Grab yourself a patch of sand and a rum drink, point your oiled body south, and read a story which combines Lost, Lord of the Flies, and Pirates of the Caribbean."
"Truth is truly stanger than fiction. This is a historically interesting and intense shipwreck story that would never be known if not for the journals of some survivors. The human drama is high, and the writing effectively captures an age where sailing to the Indies was not much different than exploring space."
"Tough to read at first because of the dutch names. Very brutal account of actual sea-faring life as opposed to what we see in movies. Not for the faint-of-heart."
"Most have heard of 'Mutiny on the Bounty', and the Batavia's story has a similarly amazing survival aspect. However, there is a much more gruesome chapter to the Batavia's story, and it's cause for a good read."
