I could not agree more about Louise. Why would she doubt him now, after all of their years together? Had Larry cheated on her before?
My favorite part of Adrift was the sweat lodge scene, where Myra and Sarah were praying for the safe return of William and the rest of the crew. The way everyone came together and overcame their own physical discomfort for the benefit of others really touched me. Even the one who could not stand the heat felt no shame because he did his best. I loved that so much.

My least favorite part was reading about when Larry’s hand and foot get severed. It just made me cringe the whole time.

My least favorite part of the book was the sea voyage terminology and all the very specific boating details. As someone who doesn't know much about boating, I found myself a little bored sometimes. The description of the Warhorse attaching itself to the Express was particularly tedious until Larry's accident happened. My other least favorite part was when Heather killed the seal. I'm glad she was able to get food for everyone, but why did it have to be a pup? It made me sad.

I thought that I was the only one who had to refer to the dictionary several times till I had to stop doing it. It may have been a bit technical to understand but I am sure that this is one part that made the book stand out too. The author's experience at sea was quite evident from his wonderful descriptions and narrations.

the female characters played very important roles in this book for sure. The towing of the Seattle Express successfully back to the port can be attributed largely to Louise. Anne was the one who offered to go in search of help together with William. Heather, on the other hand despite her condition went to hunt for a seal and the team survived starvation that is made worse in instances of extreme cold.Kaylee123 wrote: ↑22 Apr 2019, 15:39 I loved many parts of the book, but my favorite part was the strong female characters. Myra, Sarah, Louise, Anne, and Heather added so much to the story. They all played very important roles. They kept people alive and kept spirits up. I also really liked when they found William alive. From a practical standpoint, I think it would have made more sense if he had been dead, but on an emotional level, I'm so happy he was alive!

I get the reasons as to why you did not like the part. To me, it was quite interesting since the company could go on operating and I also think that it was necessary since it could have meant that their efforts bore no fruit.unamilagra wrote: ↑29 Apr 2019, 19:48 I loved the part where the whole gang got together to head up and search for William. It was a very touching scene. I'd say my least favorite part was when Louise found out about the life insurance policy that magically solved all of her problems. I just found that part a little too convenient, like the author was racing to tie up loose ends.
